Civil society has gained importance in the social sciences. Civil society organisations are active in numerous policy fields. They engage in advocacy as well as service delivery. Members, volunteers, philanthropists and sponsors are important stakeholders of civil society organisations. The series provides an interdisciplinary forum for discussing the theory and practice of civil society. The editors invite contributions from the various disciplines of the social sciences, especially business and economics, history, political science, sociology and law. The series is comparative in nature and covers a wide range of topics from civic engagement, volunteering, protest movements and corporate citizenship to public-private partnerships between state, market and civil society.

This publication series reports of the activities of the International Association of Legislation (IAL). The volumes deal with practical and theoretical problems of (better) regulation. Since Europe makes enormous progress in uniting, issues of comparison and approximation of law prevail. The volumes of this series may serve as practical manuals for the legislator as well as materials for academic research.
