A new publication of the Third Sector Impact project, e-book Resilient Organizations in the Third Sector, brings together 15 case studies of third sector organizations (TSOs) – membership associations, social enterprises and other types of hybrids – across Europe. The book analyzes their coping strategies in an increasingly challenging environment structured by austerity, the restructuring of welfare states, and public discourses that range from ignorance to hostility regarding third sector organizations. This book is a collection of stories of combining different institutional logics as TSOs move towards hybridity, and of the capacity to react to changing environments without giving up on their core missions. The TSOs presented here continue to contribute to the well-being of citizens in Europe through “innovativeness”, the provision of services as well as avenues for active participation. Read more here.
