Call for Book Chapters

We invite submission of chapters, especially case studies and campaigns analysis on Non-Profit Communication. The proposals should be in a form of an extended abstract of 1000 to 2000 words.

Why a new book?

The interest in civil society organizations present in multiple disciplines, such as sociology, political sciences, management, international law or marketing, is accompanied by different technical, hermeneutical and critical approaches. However, there is no handbook that can provide an overview of the multiple and complex approaches in the non-profit field at micro, meso and macro level. This handbook brings together multiple and multi-disciplinary perspectives and provides an outline throughout critical, structural, strategic approaches, besides debating the new challenges, case studies and recent trends on this social and communicational phenomenon.

Topics

The Routledge Handbook of Non-Profit Communication (NPC) aim is to set out a comprehensive review of research in the NPO communication field. We especially welcome chapters on:

• Metatheoretical and multidisciplinary approaches to the non-profit sector
• Intersection of the definitions of democracy, public sphere, civil society
• Distinctive forms of civil society organizations and their models of reputation, marketing and communication management.
• NPOs’ strategic communication and on the relation between these organizations and their stakeholders and publics.
• Environmental communication
• Health Communication
• Humanitarian Communication
• Development Communication
• Fundraising
• New media challenges
• Campaigns, case studies.
