Because of a gross lack of basic comparative data, however, the question of what it is that allows such organizations to develop remains far from settled. This article seeks to remedy this by testing five existing theories of the nonprofit sector against data assembled on eight countries as part of the Johns Hopkins Comparative Nonprofit Sector Project. The five theories are: (a) government failure/market failure theory; (b) supply-side theory; (c) trust theories; (d) welfare state theory; and (e) interdependence theory. The article finds none of these theories adequate to explain the variations among countries in either the size, the composition, or the financing of the nonprofit sector. On this basis it suggests a new theoretical approach to explaining patterns of nonprofit development among countries—the "social origins" approach—which focuses on broader social, political, and economic relationships. Using this theory, the article identifies four "routes" of third-sector development (the liberal, the social democratic, the corporatist, and the statist), each associated with a particular constellation of class relationships and pattern of state-society relations. The article then tests this theory against the eight-country data and finds that it helps make sense of anomalies left unexplained by the prevailing theories.}, language = {en} } @article{AnheierSalamon, author = {Anheier, Helmut K. and Salamon, Lester M.}, title = {On Developing Comparative Nonprofit-Sector Theory: A Reply to Steinberg and Young, and Ragin}, series = {Voluntas: International Journal of Voluntary and Nonprofit Organizations}, volume = {9}, journal = {Voluntas: International Journal of Voluntary and Nonprofit Organizations}, number = {3}, publisher = {Kluwer Academic Publishers-Plenum Publishers}, address = {Dordrecht}, issn = {0957-8765}, doi = {10.1023/A:1022014418732}, pages = {271 -- 281}, abstract = {Responding to comments on "Social Origins of Civil Society," an article published in this issue of Voluntas, this article focuses on three critical issues that underlie cross-national theory building and theory testing in the field of nonprofit studies: the issue of definitions, the challenge of operationalizing key theoretical concepts, and the nature of the tests available to verify results. Regarding the first, the article defends the structural-operational definition used in The Johns Hopkins Comparative Nonprofit Sector Project against suggestions by the commentators that it either be expanded or narrowed, arguing that the alternative is either to broaden the focus beyond what is manageable or to make the basic yardstick vulnerable to changing political and policy shifts—a sure prescription for confusion. Regarding the question of operationalization, the article concedes that better measures of some key features of prevailing theories might be imaginable, but, since few of these are available, it cautions against letting the best become the enemy of the good in cross-national nonprofit theory testing. Finally, the article finds, in suggestions that multivariate techniques be used in testing various nonprofit theories, confirmation of its central argument that a contextual analysis of the sort embodied in the authors' "social origins" approach is needed to come to terms with the reality of the nonprofit sector cross-nationally. Taken together these comments underline the need to continue the kind of systematic data gathering and theory testing that the authors have undertaken, to utilize an interdisciplinary approach, and to link the study of the nonprofit sector to social analysis more generally.}, language = {en} } @article{AnheierSalamon, author = {Anheier, Helmut K. and Salamon, Lester M.}, title = {The Civil Society Sector}, series = {Society}, volume = {34}, journal = {Society}, number = {2}, publisher = {Springer Science \& Business Media}, address = {New York}, issn = {0147-2011}, doi = {10.1007/BF02823101}, pages = {60 -- 65}, abstract = {Salamon and Anheier bring the civil society sector - the plethora of private, nonprofit, and nongovernmental organizations that have emerged in recent decades - into better focus conceptually as well as empirically.

To remedy this significant lack of systematic information on non-profit institutions cross-nationally, the Johns Hopkins Comparative Nonprofit Sector Project has undertaken a major analysis of the economic role of this sector in twelve countries throughout the world, utilising a more meaningful definition of the sector and an approach that is otherwise consistent with the overall thrust of the SNA system. This paper outlines the basis of the more inclusive definition of the non-profit sector embodied in this project, the classification system formulated to structure data-gathering on this more broadly-defined sector and the data assembly strategy developed to build up key estimates of the scale, structure and revenue sources of the non-profit sector in the project countries.
