Book: Regulation of the Voluntary Sector

Printer-friendly version

In Regulation of the Voluntary Sector: Freedom and Security in an Era of Uncertainty, Mark Sidel discusses the shrinking space for nonprofits to operate caused by increasing security and legal measures. By juxtaposing the treatment of nonprofits around the world, Sidel outlines how the work of nonprofits is marginalized by legal and regulation barriers. He also examines the increasing varying degrees of opposition and suspicion of nonprofits by the U.S., U.K., Australia, Canada, India, and E.U. countries. This October 2009 volume provides the first available comparative analysis of state responses to voluntary sector activity after 9/11.
