Filip Wijkström – författare

Nu är den andra reviderade upplagan av ”den orangea boken” äntligen här! För drygt tio år sedan fick författarna ett uppdrag av Forum – idéburna organisationer med social inriktning att skriva en kortare antologi som översiktligt skulle beskriva det svenska civilsamhället från olika perspektiv. Syftet med antologin var att den skulle fungera som en introduktion till det svenska civilsamhället för nyfikna läsare. Tack vare samarbete med Ideell Arena har författarna fått chansen att uppdatera texten och komplettera den med ett helt nytt kapitel. I denna version av boken finns författare från Ersta Sköndal Bräcke högskola och Handelshögskolan i Stockholm med. De ger läsarna möjligheten att följa hur det medborgerliga engagemanget och civilsamhällets organisationer har förändrats, men också hur civilsamhället förhåller sig till det övriga samhället och hur de förhoppningar och farhågor som är förknippade med civilsamhället har förändrats.

This multi-perspective Research Handbook provides a clear pathway through the nonprofit governance research field, pushing beyond the borders of current theory to expand and deepen the analytical framework for nonprofit governance. It offers an analysis of the basics including definitions, organizational forms and levels of governance, and takes a critical approach towards the normative and prescriptive tendencies in much of contemporary governance scholarship. Divided into four distinctly thematic parts, contributors provide an in-depth review of the last 20 years, building on the foundations of classical contributions and further exploring new theoretical approaches, while examining the governance challenges of diverse types of organizations, including those from both developed and developing countries. Future challenges including multilevel governance are expertly addressed, and insights leading towards a unified theory are proposed. This thoroughly engaging Research Handbook will be an excellent resource for scholars in business and strategic management, nonprofit management and civil society, interested in topics such as nonprofit governance practice and boards of directors, governance theory, stakeholder management, membership organizations, foundations and hybrid organizations. Teachers of nonprofit management will also find this invaluable as it addresses both the core concepts and the most recent developments.
