The growing significance of the sector and its increasing reliance on public funds mean it has also attracted increased scrutiny. From outside the sector concerns have been raised about the accountability and performance of nonprofit organizations. From within the sector there has been considerable debate about whether the increased reliance on government contracts is in danger of undermining the sectors independence. As a result the spotlight has fallen on governance arrangements and whether they are adequate to ensure that nonprofit organizations are effective and accountable for their actions  and able to retain their independence. This collection offers a comprehensive assessment of research on the governance of nonprofit organizations. Nonprofit governance research has been dominated by the study of boards of unitary organizations and has paid insufficient attention to the multi-level nature of governance  governance relationships and dynamics  and the contribution of actors other than board members  to governance processes. Drawing on the research of leading scholars in the US  UK  Canada and Australia  this book presents new perspectives on non-profit governance  which help to overcome these weaknesses. Written in an accessible manner the book will be of value to scholars  researchers  students  reflective practitioners and governance consultants and advisers.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45648043114549,"sku":"ByrdShop_0415783372","price":51.07,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780415783378.jpg?v=1781707528","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/nonprofit-governance-routledge-contemporary-corporate-governance-9780415783378","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
