Recent years have seen a growing interest in the ways in which citizens might control their own destinies. One key area for nurturing this active citizenship has been the third sector. Yet active citizenship and the third sector are both contested concepts and both have been affected by processes of change, including globalisation. This is the first book to explore the relationship between active citizenship and the third sector in different contexts and consider what new manifestations of active citizenship might mean for this vital relationship. It will provide a valuable resource for students, researchers and practitioners interested in this field.
