Recenzii

“This book is a refreshing novelty by covering many of the relevant discussions nowadays at the state of the art in terms of civil society knowledge production. And, as it presents a wide range of topics, it provides a starting point for conceptual and empirical studies, serving as a reference guide to civil society and nonprofit sector researchers and students in general, and can also be useful for practitioners in the above-mentioned fields.” (Cássio Aoqui, Voluntas, Vol. 34 (4), 2023)
