The Baring Foundation commissioned essays from leading academics in seven countries - Canada, England, Germany, Northern Ireland, Scotland, United States of America and Wales - to review issues relating to the independence of voluntary action from government. Together, the essays confirm that independence is fundamental to the principle and practice of voluntary action. They explore the many ways in which independence can be threatened and power exercised over voluntary action. Finally, they share lessons about what voluntary organisations can do to protect their independence. Of particular interest is Scotland?s Voluntary Sector: Coming Together for Independence? by Dr. Eleanor Burt and Professor John Taylor
