The voluntary sector plays a crucial role in shaping place, and is in turn shaped by that context, yet this ‘place leadership’ role has been underexplored in research. This interdisciplinary book brings together leading scholars and practitioners to examine this intriguing phenomenon in different political and cultural contexts.
Using case studies from the UK, the US, China and Europe, the book provides fresh insights into the dynamic relationship between place, leadership and voluntary action. Written in an accessible, jargon-free style, it sets state-of-the-art agendas for understanding and strengthening the voluntary sector’s influence in place leadership.
