Published on May 2004 under the direction of A. Evers and J.-L. Laville, this book explores Europe’s third sector – the non-profit organisations and providers of social services such as mutuals, co-operatives, associations, voluntary organisations and charities. These elements of a civil society, important yet often overlooked features in contemporary socio-economics and social policy, are at the core of this book, which follows the heels of research work conducted by several EMES members on “The Third System and Employment in Europe”.
