The appeal of voluntary action as a solution to growing welfare needs in advanced capitalist countries raises important questions about the social impacts and spatial equity of such provision. For the first time, these issues are addressed within a single book. Landscapes of Voluntarism explores the complex relationship between voluntary action, society and space. The book brings together a collection of new and innovative work by researchers from Australia, Canada, New Zealand and the UK - settings where issues of voluntarism and participation have become increasingly important for the development and delivery of social welfare policy. Prefaced by one of the foremost geographers in this field, it contains empirical and theoretical work from both new and well-established geographers. The chapters explore the interactions between voluntarism and a range of issues including governance, health, community action, faith, ethnicity, counselling, advocacy and professionalisation.

Industry Reviews

"Stimulating and informative; this book deals with a broad range of issues (from governance to volunteering) and so provides the reader with an remarkable view of the 'landscape of voluntarism'. There is wealth of excellent, informed research and will provide inspiration for students, academics, researchers, practitioners and policy makers alike." Dr Clare Fisher, Head of Department, Voluntary Sector Studies, University of Wales, Lampeter
