Adopting a critical multijurisdictional approach to charity law, this thought-provoking book provides a comprehensive analysis of the challenges facing charitable organisations. Exploring the contrasting approaches to charity governance and regulation in both common law and civil law jurisdictions, the book imparts practical guidance for a vast array of stakeholders in the charity law field.Rosemary Teele Langford brings together unique perspectives from a diverse range of eminent scholars across the globe, presenting invaluable insights on charity governance and regulation from multiple jurisdictions such as England and Wales, Australia, Germany, Korea and Japan (to name a few). Using a comparative methodology, the book delves deeply into a number of important issues relating to charity governance and regulation that transcend national boundaries. Key themes include the nature of charity accountability, the importance of trust and transparency, the refocusing of charity governance duties, the evaluation of charity law frameworks and regulatory approaches, and a forward-thinking appraisal of legislative reforms.Perceptive and progressive in approach, this book will inspire future scholarly discourse and will prove invaluable to academics, practitioners, regulators, charity leaders, policymakers and students across a number of jurisdictions.
