Book Synopsis Compacts Between Government and the Not-for-profit Sector by : John Roylance Butcher
Download or read book Compacts Between Government and the Not-for-profit Sector written by John Roylance Butcher and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 994 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Policy interest in the not-for-profit (NFP) sector has grown in step with government's interest in leveraging the capacity of non-state players to perform service delivery functions. Once consigned to the periphery of policy-making, the NFP sector is now widely accepted as an essential player in a mixed economy of service provision. Increasingly, the achievement of public policy objectives requires working collaboratively across sector boundaries. Government's engagement with NFP service providers has, on many occasions, been found wanting. The use of competitive tendering and contracting for the purpose of leveraging greater economic and technical efficiency, choice, responsiveness and innovation in the delivery of selected statutory public services has introduced a range of tensions, contradictions and externalities including failures to fund the full cost of service delivery, the uncertainty of year-to-year contracts, burdensome reporting and compliance requirements, and the substitution of competitive behaviours for collegiality among NFP providers. In the process, the role of NFP organisations as sources of policy advice and legitimacy were devalued. Governments around the world have attempted to regularise relations with the NFP sector through the adoption of formal cross-sector policy frameworks - or 'compacts'. Compacts serve a number of purposes, some explicit, others implicit. Explicit purposes include the regularisation of relations between the public and third sectors by establishing agreed rules of engagement; creating pathways for investment in sector capacity and capability; and enunciating the values and behaviours required for effective cross-sector working. Implicit purposes include a desire by governments to better manage the politics of their relationships with the third sector, and a desire by the sector to re-weight its policy influence within a strongly asymmetric relationship with government. This research takes the form of a comparative multi-case study and relies upon a rich primary and secondary literature, supplemented by interviews with elite policy actors in Australia and New Zealand. It aims for a deep contextual understanding of the range of factors contributing to the spread of compacts amongst Anglo-Saxon jurisdictions. Employing Kingdon's (1995) process streams analysis as a heuristic framework for analysis, this thesis seeks to understand why cross-sector policy frameworks have entered onto the public policy agenda in the UK, Canada, Australia and New Zealand. In Kingdon's schema, 'policy windows' open when three 'process streams' converge: the problem stream, the policy stream and the politics stream. The prospect of any solution attaining high 'agenda status' can be enhanced by the efforts of 'policy entrepreneurs' capable of recognising and exploiting those 'policy windows'. This study finds that in each of the jurisdictions examined, formal proposals for compacts or similar frameworks have: (a) been preceded by a broad recognition that aspects of the relationship between government and the NFP sector have become problematic; (b) been promoted within various policy communities as a feasible solution to acknowledged problems; and (c) entered onto the public policy agenda at politically propitious moments. The study found that the implementation and impact of cross-sector policy frameworks is highly variable. Nevertheless, political and policy attachment to compacts and similar frameworks appears to be on-going.

This book was released on 2009-11-24 with total page 1722 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recently the topic of civil society has generated a wave of interest, and a wealth of new information. Until now no publication has attempted to organize and consolidate this knowledge. The International Encyclopedia of Civil Society fills this gap, establishing a common set of understandings and terminology, and an analytical starting point for future research. Global in scope and authoritative in content, the Encyclopedia offers succinct summaries of core concepts and theories; definitions of terms; biographical entries on important figures and organizational profiles. In addition, it serves as a reliable and up-to-date guide to additional sources of information. In sum, the Encyclopedia provides an overview of the contours of civil society, social capital, philanthropy and nonprofits across cultures and historical periods. For researchers in nonprofit and civil society studies, political science, economics, management and social enterprise, this is the most systematic appraisal of a rapidly growing field.

This book was released on 2015-04-30 with total page 227 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The provision of social services in Australia has changed dramatically in recent decades, raising a range of important questions about financial and democratic accountability: 'who benefits', 'who suffers' and 'who decides'. This book explores these developments through rich case studies of a diverse set of social policy domains. The case studies demonstrate a range of effects of marketisation, including the impact on the experience of consumer engagement with social service systems, on the distribution of social advantage and disadvantage, and on the democratic steering of social policy.

Book Synopsis Rebalancing Public Partnership by : John Brothers
Download or read book Rebalancing Public Partnership written by John Brothers and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-03-03 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the US, as in many other Western economies, federal and state government is working to become more involved with the nonprofit sector; a sector in which many of the organizations are singularly ill-prepared and strategically unaligned to fulfill the new role that is being asked of them. Based on his original research, John Brothers brings together leading thought leaders from the United States and around the world by exploring the prevailing attitudes and perceptions of the nonprofit sector towards government and vice versa and provides advice and direction to help both sides of the equation towards effective collaborative working. The main themes cover the nature and implications of regulatory reform on the sector and how non-government organizations should reengineer their practices. There are also chapters on some of the hot button areas of government contracting and political advocacy. The text includes best-practice examples, case studies as well as tools and templates from across the sectors. Both sides of this emerging partnership need fast-track education on each other’s capabilities, constraints and working practice. Dr Brothers’ contributors provide some very valuable perspectives and insights that should inform and direct this process.

Book Synopsis The Politics of Charity by : Kerry O'Halloran
Download or read book The Politics of Charity written by Kerry O'Halloran and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2011-04-06 with total page 313 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For the first time since 1601, a number of leading common law nations have almost simultaneously chosen to revise and place on the statute books the law relating to charity. The Politics of Charity examines the reasons for this and for the varying legislative outcomes. This book examines the legal framework and political significance of charity, as developed within England & Wales, contrasts this with the experiences of other common law nations and explores the resulting implications for government/sector relationships in those countries. It suggests that charity law lies at the heart of the relationship between government and the non profit sector, that there is an unmistakeable political agenda driving charity law reform and that the differential in legislative outcomes reflects important differences in the policies pursued by the governments concerned. Looking at fundamentally different approaches of government towards the sector in the UK, Ireland, the US, New Zealand, Canada, Singapore and Australia, O’Halloran argues the results will have implications for the present workings of parliamentary democracy. The Politics of Charity will be a valuable resource for academics, regulators and legal practitioners as well as advanced and postgraduate students in law, politics and public policy.
Book Synopsis The Profits of Charity by : Kerry O'Halloran
Download or read book The Profits of Charity written by Kerry O'Halloran and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2012-09-24 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Profits of Charity examines the contemporary law governing the involvement of charity in commerce, explores the reasons why this involvement is dramatically changing and considers the resulting implications for charities and the nonprofit sector. From a perspective familiar to charity lawyers, NGO managers, and scholars, Kerry O'Halloran identifies the concepts and the law underpinning charities and their profits by tracing legal developments in the field and identifying the resulting opportunities and challenges for the future. At a time when many leading nations are confronting economic recession, the threat of terrorism, and the retreat of the 'welfare state,' this book explores how and why governments are now turning to charities in their quest to cultivate social capital, consolidate civil society, and promote civic engagement. In The Profits of Charity, Professor O'Halloran undertakes a comparative analysis of the balance struck between government, charity, and commerce in the EU and leading common law nations, including the United States, Canada, England and Wales, New Zealand, and Australia. He uses analysis of legislation, outcomes of charity law reviews, and recent case law to illustrate jurisdictional differences, and concludes with an assessment of the extent and significance of the recalibrated relationships and considers the overarching issues that arise for charity law and social policy.
