BOOK REVIEW: "Social Economy and Entrepreneurship. An analysis of the nonprofit sector", by Mihaela Vlasceanu, published in Romania, Polirom, Bucharest, 2010

Mihaela Vlasceanu is a professor at the National School of Political Sciences and Public Administration of Bucharest, having as main research interest the sociology of organizations and the nonprofit sector. As a leading scholar in the area of the third sector, which is still an underexplored topic in the international scientific literature and especially in Romania, the author proposes a comprehensive perspective on the evolution and the main features of this nonprofit sector, carefully pointing out the difficulty to precisely delimit its scope and boundaries from the other two major sectors: public and private.
