Description: "Governments see nonprofit agencies as an alternative mechanism for delivering public services. Activists see voluntary organizations as instruments of change. Analysts see community organizations as sources of trust and social cohesion. Despite these heady expectations, we know remarkably little about the nonprofit sector in Canada. In this book a group of scholars responds to the need for basic research in this field, exploring the scope of the nonprofit sector, the diverse roles that such organizations play, and their relationships with both government and the private sector."--Jacket.
