Philanthropy in Transition

The already vibrant charitable sector in the US is in the midst of a transformation that is altering both the manner in which donations occur and the causes that are supported. Philanthropy in Transition examines the unique role that charitable giving has played in the US, from colonial times to the present. The rising importance of new means of contributing, particularly giving through buying or investing, is considered. These new models of philanthropy have expanded the ways by which ethical consumers or investors can support a cause. Although these innovations represent a revolution in the structure of philanthropy, they introduce significant complexity to the act of giving-donors are far removed from recipients-and this may weaken the impact of contributing. This transformation is also likely to accelerate the rising importance of web-based promotion and fund-raising, as traditional nonprofits compete with social market enterprises and social impact investments for funds. Mark S. LeClair teaches international trade, international finance, and regional economic development. He is the Chair of the Master of Public Administration program and the Roger M. Lynch Chair in Economics at Fairfield University, USA. He has authored several academic articles over the past decade.

This paper discusses a study of Chinese children in Hong Kong that compared the self-concepts of hearing children of deaf parents with the self-concepts of hearing children of hearing parents. The study was based on the responses to a questionnaire given to 42 deaf couples and their 70 hearing children, and 41 hearing couples and their 82 hearing children. It found no differences in the self-concepts of hearing children of deaf parents and hearing children of hearing parents. However, it did find that deaf parents had lower self-concepts than hearing parents.

Fund-Raising Wars: Office Selling and Interprovincial Finance in Nineteenth-Century China

Elisabeth Kaske illuminates changes in relations between the center and the provinces after the Taiping Rebellion (1850-1864) by analyzing the transprovincial fund-raising campaigns that sold offices to supply provincial war chests. After rebellion nearly destroyed the Qing empire, the throne appointed military leaders to positions of power in the provinces. Scholars have long been discussing the consequences: did state power devolve into the hands of regional leaders, or did the central government reassert its authority? By taking interprovincial relations into account, Kaske shows that the provinces neither became fiscally autonomous from the center nor could ignore the interests of other provinces. Rather, provincial leaders, the Board of Revenue, and the throne renegotiated the rules of revenue sharing. As some provinces gained fiscal strength, they became increasingly responsible for matters of empire, such as the recovery of war-torn border regions.
