Explaining Civil Society Development: A Social Origins Approach
"Explaining Civil Society Development: A Social Origins Approach" by Salamon, Sokolowski, and Haddock, explores the factors that shape the development of civil society around the world. The authors challenge common assumptions about the nonprofit sector, including the idea that it is primarily an American phenomenon driven by charitable giving. They introduce a "social origins theory", arguing that historical power relationships among social classes significantly influence the size, structure, and financing of civil society. The book presents data from over 40 countries, categorizing them into distinct patterns based on characteristics such as workforce size, volunteer participation, and funding sources. The study assesses the ability of this theory to explain civil society realities and changes across time. This comprehensive analysis ultimately validates the social origins theory, highlighting the enduring impact of historical power dynamics on civil society development.
