As the British government pares back the public sphere, voluntary and community organizations there have moved to center stage in political debates surrounding social services, a process extensively explored by The Voluntary Sector in Transition. Like similar sectors around the globe, the UK voluntary sector has undergone immense change, as the very ideology surrounding welfare services has been fundamentally transformed. Drawing on contemporary social and organizational theory and policy debates, Linda Milbourne explores the extensive growth and reshaping of the UK voluntary sector following sweeping reforms to the culture and implementation of public services.
Mike Aiken, Open University
"This book brings together the most important challenges facing the voluntary sector today in a highly readable style. It is grounded in research, theoretically informed, and illustrates each theme with quotes from practitioners. It is a treasure trove of ideas which will become an indispensible source for policy makers, practitioners and researchers."
