Resilient Organizations in the Third Sector. Professionalized Membership Associations, Social Enterprises, Modern Hybrids
2018
How do nonprofit organizations manage to survive? How are they able to adapt to changed environments without losing their distinctiveness? Fifteen case studies of nonprofit organizations operating across Europe tell us a story of how to make ends meet. The cases presented, identified and analyzed in the framework of the European Union-funded research project Third Sector Impact (TSI) (Enjolras et al. 2018)1 , are organizations that are confronted with an increasingly hostile environment in terms of the availability of resources and co-operation with government. Some of them, particularly those in Southern Europe and in the U.K., suffer from austerity politics and financial cutbacks; some ar…
Julkiset palvelutuotantotehtävät suomalaisten liikuntaseurojen muodonmuutosten lähteenä
2022
Suomalaisessa yhteiskunnassa kansalaistoimijoilla on aina ollut merkittävä asema väestön hyvinvoinnin ja sosiaalisen turvallisuuden tuottamisessa. Viime vuosina julkinen sektori on kuitenkin pyrkinyt laajentamaan muiden yhteiskuntasektorien toimijoiden, kuten liikunta- ja urheiluseurojen, osallistumista kansalaisten palvelutuotantoon. Tarkastelemme artikkelissa, (1) millaisiin julkisten palvelujen tuotantotehtäviin liikuntaseurat ovat olleet valmiita sitoutumaan ja (2) miten tehtävät ovat muuttaneet seuratoimintaa. Lähestymme tutkimusaihettamme vertailemalla kahdeksaa julkiseen palvelutuotantoon paikallisesti sitoutunutta liikuntaseuraa. Tutkimusaineistomme koostuu tapaustutkimusseurojen to…
Asociacionismo, ciudadanía y bienestar social
2004
Durante las dos últimas décadas del siglo XX, se ha producido un giro histórico en el asociacionismo español, que se plasma tanto en la creación de asociaciones y en la participación asociativa, como en la institucionalización (leyes del voluntariado, de asociaciones, etc.) y en el interés académico que suscita el fenómeno. Tres interpretaciones se han dado del mismo: una utópica, que lo considera como expresión de una radicalización participativa; otra crítica, que ve en el mismo un subterfugio para diluir la privatización del Estado de bienestar, y una integrada, que habla en términos de la aparición de un tercer sector junto al mercado y el Estado. Cada una de ellas es sugerente, pero in…
Socijalna ekonomija u Europskoj uniji
2012
Ova sažeta studija, koju je za Europski ekonomski i socijalni odbor (EESC) pripremio Međunarodni centar za istraživanje i informacije o javnoj, socijalnoj i zadružnoj ekonomiji (CIRIEC), usredotočena je primarno na dva aspekta socijalne ekonomije: pojmovno-konceptualna pitanja i usporednu analizu stanja i trendova socijalne ekonomije u EU i zemljama članicama. Značajan prostor u izvještaju posvećen je povijesnom razvoju koncepta, teorijskim pristupima, nacionalnim određenjima i komponentama socijalne ekonomije. U drugom dijelu izvještaja analiziraju se statistički pokazatelji o socijalnoj ekonomiji u zemljama EU-a i posebno se argumentira društvena korisnost socijalne ekonomije. Na kraju se…
Soluciones de las comunidades autónomas de régimen general a algunas deficiencias de la Ley 49/2002 de Régimen fiscal de las entidades no lucrativas …
2021
The current Law 49/2002 on the tax regime of non-profit entities and tax incentives for patronage was born out of the declared will to establish a set of incentives applicable to patronage activity in general and, in particular, to cultural patronage. However, the practical application to date of this commendable principle has been shown to be a mere normative proposition. The Autonomous Communities of the Balearic Islands, the Valencian Community and Castilla-La Mancha have enacted laws on tax incentives for cultural patronage that could resolve, within the scope of their competences, some difficulties encountered with state regulations. With this scenario in mind we analyze the effective …

The use of these methods is aimed at interpreting TSSA leaders' discourses, the collective voice of Non-governmental organisations (NGO) managers and representatives, and the opinions of experts on: the nature and past development of the sector.

Working under pressure: economic recession and third sector development in Europe
2016
Purpose – The context conditions for third sector organizations (TSOs) in Europe have significantly changed as a result of the global economic crisis, including decreasing levels of public funding and changing modes of relations with the state. The effect of economic recession, however, varies across Europe. The purpose of this paper is to understand why this is the case. It analyses the impact of economic recession and related policy changes on third sector development in Europe. The economic effects on TSOs are thereby placed into a broader context of changing third sector policies and welfare state restructuring. Design/methodology/approach – The paper focusses on two research questions…

Promoting the "social economy" in Spanish legislation
2012
La “economía social” como concepto identificativo de una forma de hacer empresa, caracterizada por sus fines y ciertas pautas de comportamiento comunes, ha tenido reconocimiento en la legislación española desde los años 90 y especialmente en el último año con la aprobación de la Ley 5/2011 de Economía Social. Los objetivos principales de esta Ley son dar reconocimiento legal a la economía social y promover su fomento. Pero la economía social, como identificación de una realidad económica viene siendo objeto de fomento desde mucho antes, desde la creación en 1990 del Instituto Nacional de Fomento de la Economía Social. Hoy en día, el fomento de la economía social es una competencia asumida p…
