Private Action for Public Good?: The Public Role of Voluntary Sector Organizations

Voluntary sector organizations claim to be private institutions acting for the public good. However, if the concept of public is disengaged from the state and connected instead to citizenship, VSOs can be shown to have both private and public origins, as well as private and public impacts. As citizens, VSOs are public organizations serving the public good through their purported representation of the people and civic leadership. The legitimacy of their assumption of these public roles remains a continuing challenge.     

Civil Society and the Northern Irish Peace Process

Alternative accounts of the Northern Irish peace process are analyzed. It is noted that neither Unionist nor Republican accounts accord a significant or positive role to civil society in the reaching of a political settlement. It is only in what might be called the metropolitan liberal perspective that influence is attributed to the role of civil society in achieving a settlement. Two junctures at which civil society, centered on the third sector, played a prominent role in the peace process are analyzed: the Opsahl Commission before the launch of the peace process in 1993 and the nonparty Yes campaign during the referendum on the Belfast Agreement in May 1998. The paper then goes on to discuss why the influence of civil society has declined since the referendum, and draws attention to the conflict between the top-down implications of the consociational nature of the Belfast Agreement and the bottom-up promotion of political accommodation through civil society.     

Complaining Our Way to Quality: Complaints, Contracts and the Voluntary Sector

The research on which this paper is based is part of a wider study of quality assurance and the voluntary sector. The focus of this paper is on complaints procedures, as part of quality assurance mechanisms, where voluntary agencies are the contracted service providers. The authors argue that, with the introduction of contracting and particularly with its further development, the way in which complaints mechanisms currently operate will need to be revised if they are to be an effective part of the quality assurance process.     

公共产品第三部门供给的国内外研究文献综述

针对公共产品第三部门供给行为出现的原因、作用、条件、缺陷及与政府、市场的关系等几方面,专家、学者已进行了一些有益的研究,为进一步研究这一前沿问题提供了理论基础。但是,对于公共产品第三部门供给的研究刚刚起步,已有的研究大多数是从政治学和社会学的角度进行的分析,存在缺乏从经济学的角度分析其供给机制的理论框架等局限性,在公共产品第三部门供给的原因、效果及供给主体治理等方面还有大量有待研究的空间。     

Nonprofit sustainability during times of uncertainty

Nonprofit organizations in the United States depend on a diverse set of funding streams to sustain their operations. This study examines the ability of nonprofits to leverage funds from the private sector during the current economic downturn within four areas receiving federal funding for community and economic development. Both survey research and individual interviews were used to examine how nonprofits within these areas are incorporating their board members and community leaders to continue services during a time of resource scarcity.     

第三部门对社会矛盾冲突的调控作用探析

现代社会广泛兴起的介乎于政府和市场之间的第三部门，具有正规性、民间性、非营利性、自治性、志愿性和公益性等特性，在消除社会矛盾和冲突中，起着独特的作用。我国正处于社会矛盾的凸显期，应充分发挥第三部门组织的预防、整合、沟通、协调和济贫救困功能，化解社会矛盾和冲突，促进社会和谐。

碳强度对中国主要产业部门产值变动敏感性的动态估计

测算产业产值变动对碳强度的作用,可以为碳减排目标下产业结构调整方案的制定提供指导。基于投入产出理论建立系统动力学模型,以此为基础,分析中国主要产业部门产值变动对碳强度的动态作用过程,并从投资结构和消费结构两个方面探讨实现中国主要产业部门碳减排目标的有效途径。研究结果表明:从即期效应来看,制造业,电力、热力及水的生产和供应业,采矿业,其产值增加会使碳强度提高;从动态变化过程来看,农林牧渔业,采矿业,制造业,建筑业,交通运输、仓储和邮电业,批发零售贸易、住宿和餐饮业,房地产、租赁和商务服务业,其产值增加1%后碳强度呈现逐年降低的趋势;从碳强度的变化趋势来看,各产业部门产值增加对碳强度的作用力逐渐趋于稳定;产业产值变动碳减排效力的提高要依靠投资政策。     

Researching Asia's Third Sector

Most Asian countries have a strong third sector and a rich tradition of philanthropy. The varied array of social, economic, political, and third sector variables across the many countries of the region make Asia an ideal site for testing and developing third sector theory. The research infrastructure needed to sustain such a venture is beginning to form. The five papers published in this issue of Voluntas indicate some of the product, and the variety, of this growing body of research.
