‘The Handbook is a significant and timely addition to the field of philanthropic studies. The editors offer both a much needed conceptual framework and a coherent set of high-quality essays that examine philanthropy in different policy fields and from perspectives that assess its contributions and potential as well as shortcomings and critiques. It also stands out due to the impressive, and urgently required, coverage of philanthropy in the Global South.’
