Volume 1: Conceptualizing and Researching Governance in Public and Non-Profit Organizations
Edited by: Luca Gnan, Alessandro Hinna and Fabio Monteduro

The first volume of the series gives an outline of the most recent research being done on public and non profit governance at the international level (with particular emphasis in Europe). The volume focuses on the “organizational” governance that still remains “a neglected area of governance” both in the public and in the non-profit sector.

The authors examine the recent trends and the future directions of the public and non-profit governance research. They address broad issues of how to conceptualize and research 'governance' in public and non-profit organizations and deal with recent trends of research on governance mechanisms.

Editorial Objectives

Studies in Public and Non-Profit Governance is a new annual series publishing double-blind peer reviewed articles in a growing area of governance research.

Studies encourages articles on innovative issues and research methodologies that are restricted in traditional journals in this area.

The series focuses on the “micro” level of governance in public and non-profit sector, which is a neglected area of research. Therefore, governance systems, mechanisms and roles are primarily investigated at organizational level.

The series also includes studies on how this ‘organisational governance’ relates to the meso-level and the macro level of governance.

Topicality

The series allows for the establishment of an engaged community of researchers very active in the field and involved in the coordination of thematic tracks in well-known international conferences of management and organizational studies.

Coverage

Studies in Public and Non-Profit Governance aims to:

• Contribute to the definition of the theoretical components that assign an innovation role to governance systems in public and non profit organizations
• Show the opportunity for a deeper analysis of governance mechanisms in their relationships with both the external (stakeholders) actors and the internal (management) actors
• Address the conditions which enable governance mechanisms to effectively cover their own roles.

Topics of interest include:

• The Role, the Behaviour and the Effectiveness of the Public and Non-Profit Boards
• The Multi-Level and Multi-Faceted Nature of Governance in Public and Non-Profit Sector
• Capturing Governance Changes and Dynamics: Evidence from Qualitative and Longitudinal Research Studies.

Key Audiences

This series meets the needs of the research community for two main reasons:

• First, it intercepts the request of scholars in terms of specific publications on governance of public and non-profit organizations. Compared to the wider debate on corporate governance in the private sector and to the literature on the “macro” and “meso” levels of governance in the public sector, the organizational (micro) level of governance remains “a neglected area of governance” in the public and non-profit sector. It is agreed in the research community that a number of relevant governance issues still remain under-investigated in the public domain and in the non profit sector.
• Second, the series can intercept the increasing request of the research community of giving more space to innovative issues and research methodologies. In fact the series is less constrained by the narrowly construed editorial procedures of top journals that tend to select articles that are less speculative and provide only incremental advances to knowledge.
