TRANSFORMATION OF CIVIL SOCIETIES: CHANCES, MYTHS AND NEW STRATEGIES FOR NONPROFIT ORGANIZATIONS
Journal Title: European Journal of Business and Social Sciences - Year 2016, Vol 4, Issue 11
Abstract
There have been changes in civil societies as a result of globalization. The expectations of civil society organizations in young democracies are diverse. Nowadays, citizens are more engaged in civil society organizations and the growth of them has been remarkable. Since the 1980s, nonprofit organizations have flourished rapidly to protect and support the material and immaterial interests of individuals. NPOs play a vital role in the public sphere, but their concern is changing the society in a major way. Furthermore, nonprofit organizations are faced with big challenges which prevent them from reaching the heights to which they aspire. In order to fulfill their objectives, they have gradually adopted new market values and approaches which have led to a growing 'marketization' and 'commercialization' of nonprofits, a move which may have negative consequences on democracy and on creating a strong civil society in the future. This paper aims to scrutinize the challenges which nonprofits are facing and to provide new strategies for them to realize their goals and improve their capacity to be able to meet society's needs.
