Programma
After an initial presentation of the main analytical paradigms for interpreting the NGO Sector, the main approaches developed within three traditions of reflexive thought will be illustrated: a) economic theories; b) political theories; c) sociological theories. The second part will address the question of how the NGO Sector functions in Italy, and thus what are the operational and management characteristics that determine its specificity/distinctiveness. A specific part will deal with the professional profiles of NGO professionals. Finally, specific areas of development of the NGO sector in Italy will be analysed.Testi Adottati
