Why do some countries have a vibrant nonprofit sector while others do not? Nonprofits in Crisis explores the theory of risk as a major mechanism through which economic development influences the nonprofit sector. Nuno S. Themudo elaborates this idea by focusing on Mexican nonprofit organizations, which operate and strive to survive in a risky environment. The study of these nonprofits generates broader lessons about philanthropy and the nonprofit sector that complement wider cross-national statistical analysis.

Industry Reviews

"This book is an important contribution to comparative nonprofit studies, and it deserves to be carefully read and debated. It is an exemplary research project, offering an important and intriguing puzzle, a solid review and critique of alternative explanations, an interdisciplinary approach to theory-building and empirical testing, and original data.... It is no small challenge to offer an empirically rigorous and theoretically rich and coherent explanation of nonprofit sector development, and this work rises to that challenge admirably."
