Summary: This book offers an impressive analysis of the changing boundaries of the third sector in Europe and how this sector relates to the state and market in the provision of public services. Its penetrating insights deepen our understanding of the emerging role of the third sector in modern times – the most comprehensive assessment of the European experience to date.– Neil Gilbert, University of California, Berkeley, US. ‘This new collection offers a fresh perspective on a whole range of issues now being addressed in the world of voluntary action in Europe – and beyond. By breaking free of existing constraints on modes of thinking and analysis, the authors have opened up new spaces for exploration on the future role of organisations and for dialogue between citizens, civil society and governments. In so doing, they have made a valuable contribution to debate in this important area of social policy.’– Nicholas Deakin, London School of Economics, UK. This book explores Europe’s third sector – the non-profit organisations and providers of social services such as mutuals, co-operatives, associations, voluntary organisations and charities: these elements of a civil society are important yet often overlooked features in contemporary socio-economics and social policy.
