Eighteen American academics, researchers and nonprofit professionals contribute 12 essays exploring the collaborative and conflicting relationship between nonprofits and government. The second
edition reflects the many developments since publication of the 1999 edition and offers a more in-depth understanding of how government regulates, facilitates, finances, and oversees nonprofit
activities, and how nonprofits try to shape the way government services the public and promotes the civic, religious, and cultural life of the country. New material includes discussion of
trends affecting nonprofit-government interactions and new chapters on the roles of U.S. international nonprofits and on how state government finances and regulates nonprofits. Annotation ©2007
