摘要:Evidence suggests the boundaries between the U.K. government and the voluntary sector are blurring because of an increasing emphasis on partnership between the two. One symptom of this changing relationship-or a contributing cause of it-is the practice of recruiting senior managers from the voluntary sector into government service.
