'Bravo to the editors and authors! Regulatory Waves achieves what no volume has done before: to explain why such big differences exist in how countries regulate charities and nonprofits, with heavy state regulation in some and self-regulation in others. It deftly shows the ebb and flow between state and self-regulation across a diverse set of countries in a style as engaging as a Grisham mystery. Regulatory Waves is a must-read and an essential reference.' Susan Phillips, University of Technology, Brisbane
