Volume Two of Global Civil Society: Dimensions of the Nonprofit Sector by Lester
M. Salamon of the Johns Hopkins Comparative Nonprofit Sector Project has been published.

Last month The Economist described this book as “one of the most ambitious attempts
to measure the size of charity” around the world. “[It] will form the basis for 
new United Nations guidelines on national accounts allowing countries for the first
time to compare philanthropy and volunteering.”

It has been edited by Lester M. Salamon, Director of the Center for Civil Society
Studies, the Institute for Policy Studies, The Johns Hopkins University. The first
volume of this study won the Virginia Hodgkinson Prize, Independent Sector in 2001.
