The International Journal
of Not-for-Profit Law

Volume 11, Issue 3, May 2009

This issue of the International Journal of Not-for-Profit Law features three articles on Europe. The first one examines cross-border issues in regulating charities, concentrating on Ireland and the UK. The authors are Oonagh B. Breen of the School of Law, University College Dublin, Ireland; Patrick Ford of the School of Law, University of Dundee, Scotland; and Gareth G. Morgan of the Centre for Voluntary Sector Research, Sheffield Hallam University, England. Next, Goran Buldioski, director of the Open Society Institute’s Think Tank Fund, assesses the need for a code of ethics on the part of think tanks in Central and Eastern Europe. Finally, Pesh Framjee, Partner and Head of the unit serving Non-Profit Organisations at Horwatch Clark Whitehill, provides a comprehensive guide to the law regulating trading by charities in the UK.

We also feature an article and a review. In the article, Mahammad Guluzade and Natalia Bourjaily evaluate the prospects for developing legislation and practice for charity in Azerbaijan. And Michael Bisesi, Professor and Director, Center for Nonprofit and Social Enterprise Management, Seattle University, reviews a Center for Effective Philanthropy monograph, Beyond the Rhetoric: Foundation Strategy.

As always, we gratefully acknowledge our authors for their incisive and informative articles.
