- Summary:
- In recent years, membership has dropped in traditional voluntary associations such as Rotary Clubs and Jaycees. At the same time, concern is rising about the growth of paramilitary and hate groups. Political scientist Nancy Rosenblum takes a new, less narrow approach to the study of groups. Writing with an eloquent moral voice, Rosenblum draws on law, practical politics, and psychology to reach optimistic conclusions about the state of civil society.
