This collection offers a comprehensive assessment of research on the governance of nonprofit organizations. Nonprofit governance research has been dominated by the study of boards of unitary organizations and has paid insufficient attention to the multi-level nature of governance, governance relationships and dynamics, and the contribution of actors other than board members, to governance processes. Drawing on the research of leading scholars in the US, UK, Canada and Australia, this book presents new perspectives on non-profit governance, which help to overcome these weaknesses.

Explores the themes of corporate governance and sustainability, and argues that a better system of governance on a number of levels holds the key. This book recognizes the complex nature of both sustainability and governance, and that these key concepts have been redefined considerably over time. It is aimed at students of business and management.
