Civil society leaders represent organizations that are often based on and guided by religious, political, or cultural values and that often strive to achieve some sort of social change. To exercise influence on society is thus a crucial feature of civil society leaders. Drawing on elite theories, the article seeks to explain differences in the perception of influence by looking at the following factors: (1) personal qualities and resources such as age, gender, country of birth, education, and working experiences, (2) social networks and contacts with representatives of different institutions (media, government, etc.), and (3) organizational position and resources, including relations with public authorities. The analysis shows that two out of three surveyed leaders perceive they have great influence in society concerning the issues they work with. Among the factors explaining the perception of influence, we find being a leader of an organization at the regional level, being of older age, having leading representatives of the media in one’s personal network, and stating that one has great influence over the organization one leads.","PeriodicalId":46013,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Civil Society","volume":"16 1","pages":"174 - 190"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2020-04-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/17448689.2020.1769326","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48856958","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The article fills a gap in the literature which until now has been mainly concerned with the influence of state funding on professionalisation. To study the consequences of first-time exposure to reporting requirements, eight organisations in two contrasting regulatory regimes, UK and Norway are analysed, on the basis of extensive documents and a series of semi-structured interviews with different organisational actors. The study finds that organisations – irrespective of type - exposed to constraining regulation adjust to reporting requirements through recruitment of specialised personnel. Organisations’ financial capacity determines whether the organisation professionalises by taking on specialist volunteers or by taking on paid staff. The study demonstrates the pervasive impact of regulation on organisational maintenance of voluntary membership organisations in contemporary democracies.","PeriodicalId":46013,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Civil Society","volume":"16 1","pages":"119 - 97"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2020-04-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/17448689.2020.1733282","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45161301","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The Voluntary Function Inventory was originally created and validated in English on volunteers in different organizations but never on blood donors. Recently, Voluntary Function Inventory was validated on an Italian sample of social health volunteers. A questionnaire evaluating socio-demographic variables, the Blood Donation Function Inventory and a scale that investigates the facilitators of blood donation was administered to 2,615 blood donors. The results of the Exploratory Factorial Analysis showed a good factorial saturation of all except three items, which were eliminated. The Confirmatory Factorial Analysis confirmed the results, showing good fit indexes. The scale showed strong correlation with measures investigating the facilitators of volunteerism. This instrument can be important for blood donors’ organization in order to recruit and retain blood donors.","PeriodicalId":46013,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Civil Society","volume":"16 1","pages":"61 - 76"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2020-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/17448689.2020.1717157","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42184802","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The aim of this study is to investigate how the patient organizations are handling the two-front individualization process internally in their organizations, as well as externally towards a more patient-centred healthcare system. With more diverse stakeholders and individual patients given increased influence, we would expect a corresponding adjustment in the strategies of the patient organizations. The article’s focus is on the organizations’ representative role, and theories on advocacy strategies are used to identify the nature of the patient organizations’ advocacy work. To find out how adjustments are made, 17 semi-structured interviews were conducted with representatives from local branches of three large Swedish patient organizations. The interviews show a low tendency to adjust as a response to this two-front individualization and illustrate a paralyzed rather than modified behaviour in these organizations. Individualization being a global trend, we believe these results are of interest to scholars of collective participation in all parts of the world.","PeriodicalId":46013,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Civil Society","volume":"16 1","pages":"77 - 95"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2020-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/17448689.2020.1721725","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48076574","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In response to this encroaching energy landscape, localized mobilizations have emerged. While the tactics of these social movements are important, this article focuses on their concern of protecting shared natural resources. Using the grassroots opposition to the Keystone XL pipeline in rural Nebraska as a case study, we highlight how neoliberal policies and environmentally risky energy projects have facilitated civil society coalition-building to protect natural resources and fight climate change. Historically, social movements have been driven by strong civic activism and progressive organizsing efforts. This article asks: are localized, goal-oriented movements more likely to form stronger civic ties than the greater environmental movement? Landowner concern about the risks associated with pipeline were not enough to mobilize farmers, ranchers, and concerned citizens; it took the organizing efforts of the grassroots civil society organization Bold Nebraska to unify landowners and communities along the pipeline’s route. Utilizing extensive fieldwork focused on the Keystone XL opposition movement in Nebraska, this study argues that environmental movements based on local coalitions have the potential to fortify future environmental protection.","PeriodicalId":46013,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Civil Society","volume":"16 1","pages":"44 - 60"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2020-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/17448689.2020.1717151","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48586440","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It is distinguished between four types of civil societies: apolitical, political, transnational, and uncivic. Each type of civil society is considered separately vis-à-vis cyberspace developments in order to understand what kind of civil society is enhanced by these developments and, conversely, what kind of civil society is constrained. This understanding helps inform how cyberspace has changed the more generic society-state relations. While one can identify many instrumental changes and developments in civil society practices, the article concludes that the emergence of cyberspace has not profoundly changed society in terms of the relative power of one type of civil society over another. Thus, its transformative power is rather limited in a more fundamental sense. The empirical focus of the article is on Norwegian civil society, representing a Western developed democratic state, but it is argued that while the empirical results may vary, the analytical framework can arguably be applied and tailored to any society.","PeriodicalId":46013,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Civil Society","volume":"15 1","pages":"392 - 411"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2019-10-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/17448689.2019.1672288","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43722232","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
