Where to Read Their Work
Civic & Charitable Organizations
APSA Related Group on Civil Society, Policy, and Power. I founded and chair this group of roughly 80 political scientists researching and writing on nonprofits and donors. We hold panels and a reception/business meeting at the American Political Science Association’s annual meeting. I also maintain a Google Group (list-serve) for civil society scholars across disciplines. To join either, email me.
