Three Faces of the State and the Nonprofit Sector
Recent changes in the U.S. nonprofit sector reflect the influence of market-based public policies and values. In this article, the authors suggest a framework to assess the effects of these policies and values on nonprofit sector characteristics. They propose three models of the state along with three corresponding models of the nonprofit sector. Using recent implementation of market-based policies in two policy domains, foster care and job train…
Competitive Sourcing in the Federal Civil Service
Competitive sourcing, meaning public—private competitions to perform work in the federal civil service, was made a priority management policy of the George W. Bush administration. Competition, it is believed, will greatly enhance administrative efficiency whichever bidder, public or private, wins. Introduction of such market-based human resource policies into the federal civil service has engendered debate over long-term effects on merit principl…
Technical assistance for institutional capacity building
The US government has been actively engaged for the last 15 years in foreign assistance programs for building democratic governance institutions and enhancing overall government capacity in the former Soviet bloc countries. Transfers of public policies, administrative structures and management practices from one country to another are problematic. In this article we suggest that there are some fundamental constraints inherent in the framework of …
Municipal Government-Nonprofit Sector Collaboration in Bulgaria
The worldwide phenomenon of devolution of power to local governments and growth of community nonprofit organizations increases opportunities for municipal government-nonprofit sector collaboration. Successful collaboration between the two institutions is seen as a promising trend because it stimulates development of a healthy civil society and delivery of a broader array of social services. This article presents an analysis of survey data that me…
Mapping Local Government-Nongovernmental Organization Interactions
As nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) grow in numbers and importance around the globe and local governments gain capacity through decentralization processes, there is increased opportunity for the two sectors to interact with each other. Here we develop a conceptual framework for comparative analyses of local government-NGO interactions. Five potential social functions of local governments and NGOs and the possible outcomes produced by interact…
The welfare state and the emerging non‐profit sector in Bulgaria
indigents, protection of children, housing, care for the elderly), establish private schools, make grants and loans through foundations, support cultural activities, promote international cooperation, protect the environment and so on. Laws have been promulgated to protect the rights and encourage the creation of these non-profit organisations. The transition of the East European nations to market economies and democratic states provides a unique…
Bulgaria's non-profit sector
Bulgaria, like other East European nations since the collapse of communism, has moved rapidly to form private, self-directed non-profit and voluntary organisations. Like those nations too, Bulgaria faces a number of challenges in its pursuit of forming a strong non-profit sector. Chief among those challenges are establishing a sound legal foundation, defining the social purposes and functions of the non-profit sector, and establishing the legitim…

Governmental policies to reduce tax evasion
Innovations in State Tax Administration
By 1980 the states had adopted a number of structural reforms in their tax and revenue agencies that were intended to enhance economy and efficiency. A variety of structures still existed, but common patterns were emerging. This was particularly true with respect to the appointment rather than election of heads of tax agencies, consolidation of the administration of major taxes into a single agency, and the organization of tax departments along f…
Small City Autonomy in the Federal System
How severe have been the restrictions on the autonomy of local governments, as state and federal mandates and grant programs proliferated in the 1970s? This study of mandate and grant impacts in nine, small California cities suggests that local control has not been reduced as much as the recent literature of federalism argues. Municipal officials in these communities perceived a range of effects according to program areas. Clean water standards w…
