This book offers a new look at Mexican civil society, through a rigorous quantitative and qualitative analysis of volunteering in Mexico. The findings of this study, with new methodologies specifically tailored to the unique nature of Mexican volunteerism contradict previous studies that considered Mexico's Third Sector one of the smallest and least developed worldwide. American or European models of studying the Third Sector do not accurately translate to the study of Mexico, and the author of this key volume has developed a new and important model of study. The results of this study will provide key insights aboutthe growing Third Sector in Mexico, including: the concept of volunteering inMexico, case studies of Non-Profit Organizations in Mexico, findings, Challenges, and Implications of this Study, detailed outline of the Methodology, technological Support for Information Gathering. The results and methodology of this groundbreaking study will be invaluable not only to researchers studying the Third Sector in Mexico, but those studying other analogous cultures that do not fit into traditional American or European models.
