44. Nonprofits and Government: Conflicts and Collaboration

This was my book for my summer class... an interesting read at times and a boring one at others... here's the description from The Urban Institute's website:

What impact do changes in federal spending priorities have on the nation's nonprofit organizations? Should nonprofits be allowed to lobby government? Should government support be tied to regulation of nonprofit activities? What's been the history of government-nonprofit relations in the United States and how does this compare to experiences in other countries?
Nonprofits and Government: Collaboration and Conflict explores these and other issues, providing a framework for assessing a relationship that is both growing and evolving. In an interview, editors Eugene Steuerle and Elizabeth Boris talk about why this discussion is critical for the development of public policy.
