Weaponized volunteering
Writing on weaponized volunteering in these perilous times, one risks the perils Auden described of 'lecturing on navigation as the ship goes down'. Aging and unarmed, this scholar proceeds to respond to the invitation of providing concluding remarks to the monograph issue. I address four aspects of weaponized volunteering, as introduced in the five articles presented in this issue: (1) the significance of the content of this phenomenon; (2) the …
The Hungarian Patient
Offering a panoramic overview of the constitutional, political, social and ideational changes in Hungary, the book also provides a kaleidoscopic analytical frame for the study of the dynamics of political change drawing on concepts from social movement studies, comparative politics, political sociology, gender studies and constitutionalism.
Introduction to the Symposium on Central and Eastern Europe
From Liberal Democracy to the Cosmopolitan Canopy
Liberalism is that ideology, that worldview, which values, in an ever-evolving set of intelligently intermingled thoughts: democracy, freedom (liberty), equality (justice), fraternity (solidarity), the pursuit of happiness, pluralism (diversity), and human rights--and explores the ever-open ever-possible futures of their rediscovery and advance. The study of ways in which social movements relate to Third sector/nonprofit or voluntary organization…
A Paradigm Shift in Third Sector Theory and Practice
For the past quarter-century, the field of voluntary action/nonprofit organization/third sector research has been dominated by a paradigm that focuses on organizations certified as tax exempt by the IRS and subject to an inability to distribute economic assets. This definition has facilitated large-scale empirical research but has dropped from visibility a wide range of important community-based voluntary and nonprofit organizations, including in…
Growing Civil Society
This book investigates the role of voluntary action and nonprofit organization in contemporary America. It notes that society contains four sectors – governmental, market, family and nonproft – and argues that the concept of a 'third space' is a more useful way of conceptualizing the area of society that is occupied by nonprofits as well as many individuals and organizations that come together to work for the common good. Van Til is a respected c…

The Three Sectors
The structure of the third, or independent sector, is analyzed in this paper from the perspective of its place in an integrated political economy. Using the method of John Dewey to distinguish acts that are public from those that are private, a set of propositions are developed regarding the close links between voluntarism and the acts of corporate and governmental institutions. This interrelated social reality is examined in terms of major appro…
Citizen Participation in the Future
Living with Energy Shortfall
This book represents an extension of several earlier works on spatial form by Van Til, an urban sociologist who describes himself as a guarded pessimist about the future. He examines the spatial ramifications on urban, suburban, and rural use of space brought about by changes in the availability of amount and types of energy resources. In the first three chapters, he explores these ideas by structuring the future in terms of four institutional se…

Citizen Participation in the Future
Citizen Participation in Social Policy
“Citizen participation” is examined in two federal programs: urban renewal and the community action programs. Six meanings of the concept are formed from two dimensions, the dimensions of participation of elites and non-elites, and the dimension of the focus on administrative or political concerns. Participation may mean “elite coalition,” “politics of reform,” “citizen advice,” “pluralist participation,” “client participation,” or “grassroots pa…
