Zivilgesellschaftliches Engagement und Freiwilligendienste

This handbook provides an overview of key findings on civic engagement and voluntary services. Authors from various disciplines, such as sociology, political science, education, social work, cultural studies, adminis-trative science and law, provide a clear and concise introduction to key areas of knowledge on this subject area. The handbook combines academic and practice-orientated contributions in eight sections: discourses, history, forms and organisation, fields, education and support, framework conditions and promotion, plus global and transnational perspectives and research. Current developments such as the digitalisation and diversification of volunteering are considered, as are critical perspectives that reveal volunteering in its contradictions and entanglements with social power relations.
