State and Nonprofit Sector - Reluctant or willing collaborators? - Government-NGO Partnership

There is increasing involvement of private parties - both for-profit and non-profit, for providing public services mainly due to the rolling back of the state almost all over the world. The nonprofit or voluntary sector and the state had always been observed to have a love & hate relationship and there is qualm about collaboration. This book throws light on the dynamics of shifting relationship between the nonprofit sector and the state in the contemporary world, in the light of considerable research & analytical work available on the subject. The book raises questions like: In the process of coming too close to the donors and away from the grassroots, are NGOs losing some of their qualities for which they were thought to be better performers than the state? The subject of evolving relationship between the state and the nonprofit sector would appeal to a large number of social scientists, activists and practitioners.
