Van der Civil Society in Europe : Minimum Norms and Optimum Conditions of its Regulation / Tymen J. Van der Ploeg Cambridge : Cambridge University Press, 2017 548 pages ; 23,5 cm ; 23,5 cm The regulation of civil society provides the framework under which those organisations can most effectively provide services in education, health, social services, housing, development aid and so on. Civil Society in Europe identifies common principles of civil society law in two ways. First, the approaches of the Council of Europe and the European Union are explored. Next, civil society regulation in twelve domestic legal systems are investigated on a broad range of substantive areas of law including internal organisation, registration, external supervision, public benefit organisations and international activities. From these, the authors distill a set of minimum norms and optimal conditions under which civil society can deliver its aims most effectively. This book is essential reading for policymakers and legislators across Europe and beyond. Human Rights Comparative Law Legislation 26500/MKRI-P/XII-2018 26500/MKRI-P/XII-2018
