The Palgrave Handbook of Global Philanthropy (eBook, PDF)

Beschreibung

The Palgrave Handbook of Global Philanthropy is a comprehensive reference guide to the practice of philanthropy across twenty-six nations and regions. In addition, thematic chapters examine cross-national issues to provide an indispensable guide to the latest research in this field. Drawing on theoretical insights from sociology, economics, political science, and psychology, and including a stellar international line-up of leading philanthropy scholars, this essential reference work describes the non-profit sector and analyzes philanthropic endeavours country by country, providing a global overview that covers Asia, Europe, the Middle East, Australia and the Americas. In addition, thematic chapters examine cross-national issues, including the social origins of the non-profit sector and charitable giving; the influence of government support; the role of religion; fiscal incentives; and fundraising to outline how major country-specific differences in governmental, economic, and legal policies for philanthropic actors and nonprofit organizations shape philanthropic giving, demonstrating how country-specific factors may facilitate or inhibit charitable giving. Nonprofit organizations provide important public goods and services in societies across the world. In times of economic crisis, when governments are forced to decrease public spending, these organizations become even more important in meeting demands for these goods and services. But what motivates individuals to voluntarily give away portions of their own financial resources to benefit the public good and to enable nonprofit organizations to carry out their work? Why do people in one country give more frequently and more generously to nonprofit organizations than those in another? The Palgrave Handbook of Global Philanthropy provides an indispensable guide to the latest research in philanthropy, the non-profit sector and charitable giving.

Rezensionen

"The book deserves to be read by students of nonprofit studies, economics, sociology, political science, and public administration who are interested in fundraising and social policy. It is also a must read for researchers and practitioners who are involved in international development and fundraising." (Abhishek Bhati, Voluntas, 2017)

"The Palgrave Handbook of Global Philanthropy calls itself a 'comprehensive reference guide to the practice of Philanthropy'. ... the work is superb, featuring in-depth looks at donor behaviour in 25 individual countries plus the Caribbean region and solid analysis of the field at the global level. ... it will be enjoyed by anyone with a general familiarity with the non-profit sector and

philanthropy. Rich in content the handbook represents an important contribution to the study and practice of philanthropy." (John Harvey, Alliance, Vol. 21 (1), March, 2016)

"The ten-page list of contributors reveals an international group of outstanding scholars of philanthropy and by providing institutional affiliation, educational background and research interests will serve as a directory for those wishing to begin their own research into the nature and evolution of philanthropic giving. This handbook is essential for institutions with philanthropic studies programmes and because the content is so well organized and clearly written it will appeal to graduate and undergraduate students writing from many different perspectives." (Anthony Raymond, Reference Reviews, Vol. 30 (7), 2016)
