Delicate Dances explores the relations between the public and nonprofit sectors at all levels of governances and examines the role of the Third Sector in global decision-making on trade, analysing different sides of the relationship between the Canadian federal government and voluntary organizations. The authors look at the relationships in different provincial settings, focusing on Ontario, Quebec, and Saskatchewan, examining the defining influence of government welfare programs on the lives of two local religious orders in Atlantic Canada. The authors argue that both the public and the nonprofit sectors are changing. Not surprisingly, relations between these two sectors involve a complex series of delicate dances, in which missteps by either partner can produce tangled confusion. | Delicate Dances by Kathy L.
