Sommario/riassunto

Les questions environnementales cristallisent des enjeux de pouvoirs comme le montrent les controverses actuelles autour du changement climatique, de la pollution de l’air, de la mise en péril de la biodiversité et de la transition énergétique. Depuis une quarantaine d’années, elles suscitent des mobilisations et font l’objet de négociations et d’oppositions à toutes les échelles. Or cette tendance récente s’ancre dans un passé plus lointain. Ce livre a l’ambition de montrer l’ancienneté et la richesse des liens entre pouvoirs institutionnels et environnement.   Les quatorze contributions réunies ici interrogent les modalités de cette relation en balayant plusieurs siècles d’histoire sur trois continents (Europe, Amérique, Afrique). D’abord, les questions environnementales participent de l’affirmation des pouvoirs : les catastrophes naturelles et le surgissement des risques apparaissent comme des moments privilégiés de cette coconstruction. Ensuite, la définition de l’environnement constitue un attribut essentiel des institutions et des acteurs qui, pour défendre des milieux, sont parfois amenés à les politiser. À travers les aménagements et la gestion des confits, l’environnement apparaît enfin en tant que sujet de négociations et objet de jeux d’acteurs complexes au sein desquels les pouvoirs publics jouent un rôle souvent difficile, à l’interface entre des intérêts divergents.

Sommario/riassunto

The second edition of The Nonprofit Sector provides a novel, comprehensive, cross-disciplinary perspective on nonprofit organizations and their role and function in society. This new, updated edition keeps pace with industry trends and advances as well as with the changing interests and needs of students, practitioners, and researchers. As before, every chapter has been written to stand on its own, providing sufficient background for the reader to follow the argument without referring to other chapters-allowing readers to selectively choose those chapters that are most relevant to a particular course, interest, or issue. The Nonprofit Sector: A Research Handbook includes twenty-seven new or updated chapters. Relevant chapters from the previous edition have been refined, and new chapters have been added to fill in gaps, making this the authoritative reference for all who want an accessible, perceptive, and all-inclusive rendering of the nonprofit sector. The contributors-prominent scholars in their respective fields-carefully reflect upon the variety of changes in the rapidly growing world of nonprofits, examining a wide array of organizations, international issues, social science theories, and philanthropic traditions and covering a broad range of topics including the history and scope of nonprofit activities in the United States and abroad, the relation of nonprofits to the marketplace, government-nonprofit issues, key activities of nonprofits, aspects of giving to and joining nonprofits, and nonprofit mission and governance. For anyone who wishes to have a deeper understanding of the nonprofit sector, this remains the essential guide.
