'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
'This collection represents the best of scholarship on the complex
and important theme of regulation of the not-for-profit sector.
Breen, Dunn and Sidel have combined the wisdom of multiple
jurisdictions, traditions, and methods to deliver a book that will
undoubtedly inform public policy and law reform at what is a
critical time for civil society in many countries.' Matthew
Harding, University of Melbourne, Australia
'The concept of regulatory cycles or 'waves' is a fascinating one,
which is applied, with great success, to the nonprofit sector in
this book. The authors question whether state and non-state
regulation occurs in waves and, in so doing, they analyze the
drivers for and relationships between state and non-state
intervention in nonprofit regulatory frameworks around the globe.
The book is a welcome addition for scholars working in the
nonprofit field.' Debra Morris, University of Liverpool
'Breaking new ground on a formerly understudied yet pertinent area,
this collection of articles fills a previously left void in the
literature on nonprofit studies in which the exploration of the
give and take between, in conjunction with the power dynamics, size
and scope of, forms of regulation of the nonprofit sector has been
largely absent. This compilation is both a timely and important
read in terms of providing insight to academics, nonprofit actors
and statutory decision makers regarding the potential catalysts
prompting regulatory change of the nonprofit sector in specific
jurisdictions. In addition, this book sets out policy principles
for decision makers of both statutory and non-statutory regulation
mechanisms in the non-profit sector specifically and other
regulatory sectors generally.' Rachel Zeliger, International
Society for Third-Sector Research
'Regulatory Waves is a book full of nuanced and in-depth
exploration of the realities and thoughtful argumentation of the
possibilities for non-profit regulation and is a must read for
anyone interested in the sector's future development and in the
drivers and effects of regulation more generally.' Bronwen Dalton,
Nonprofit and Voluntary Sector Quarterly
