Summary

This book explores key policy issues for the non-profit sector against a background of increasing competition, new public management and ever decreasing budgets. Key questions raised include: Is the nonprofit sector in crisis? What policy models are being discussed, and what are their implications? How can nonprofit organisations negotiate a course between commercialization and tighter government regulation?
