Theme
The 2023 ARNOVA Asia Conference theme is “The Roles of Nonprofit Organizations for Sustainable Civil Society” which looks into the challenges and exploring of nonprofit organizations to seek advanced collaborations with governments and corporations as well as gaining voluntary actions and philanthropy. In particular, we welcome empirical and theoretical studies addressing the following three broad issues: civic engagement, partnerships in public service delivery, and nonprofit sustainability in post-disaster recovery. In addition, we are experiencing new and difficult situations, such as the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as more disasters striking and economies facing volatility, uncertainty, complexity, and ambiguity (VUCA). These changes facing the nonprofit field increase the need to expand our research paradigm and employ more inclusive strategies that comprehensively cover behaviors and organizations outside our traditional scope.
We invite conference submissions from academic researchers, practitioners, and emerging scholars that address this conference theme. Topics to be discussed cover a wide range of issues related to nonprofit, charity, philanthropy, and social economy, including, but not limited to:
- Giving & Volunteering
- Corporate Philanthropy
- Policy Advocacy and Civic Engagement
- Nonprofit Governance and Management
- Human and Financial Resource Management of Nonprofit Organizations
- Collaborations & Partnerships within and across Sectors
- Social Enterprises and entrepreneurs
- Nonprofit Innovation & Impact
- New Technologies, Big Data, Digitalization, and Civil Society
- Disaster Mitigation, Recovery, and Management
- COVID-19 and Civil Society
- Beyond Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)
- Other Related Significant Topics
