NONPROFITS IN POLICY ADVOCACY - SHELDON GEN AMY...

Policy advocacy is an increasingly important function of many nonprofit organizations  as they
seek broad social changes in their concerning issues. Their advocacy practices  however  have
often been guided by their own past experiences  anecdotes from peer networks  and consultant
advice. Most of their practices have largely escaped empirical and theoretical grounding that
could better root their work in established theories of policy change. The first book of its
kind  Nonprofits in Policy Advocacy bridges this gap by connecting real practices of
on-the-ground policy advocates with the burgeoning academic literature in policy studies. In
the process  it empirically identifies six distinct policy advocacy strategies  and their
accompanying tactics  used by nonprofits. Case studies tell the stories of how advocates apply
these strategies in a wide variety of issues including civil rights  criminal justice 
education  energy  environment  public health  public infrastructure  and youth. This book will
appeal to both practitioners and academicians  as each gains insights into the other's views of
policy change and the actions that produce it.
