Beschreibung

Volunteering and voluntary organizations have become increasingly important in British social and political life but at a cost. Greater prominence has led to a narrow and distorted view of what voluntary action involves and how it is undertaken. This book reasserts the case for a broader view of voluntarism as a unique set of autonomous activities.

Über den Autor

Colin Rochester is Honorary Research Fellow at Birkbeck, University of London, UK. He has previously co-authored Volunteering and Society in the 21st Century.

Zusammenfassung

A radical reappraisal of voluntary sector theory and practice over the past thirty-five years that restates the distinctive nature and autonomous status of voluntary action in British society
