Nonprofit Organization Studies

非営利組織論

A Non-Profit Organization is a special form of organization that is neither a general for-profit organization nor a government organization. Compared to general for-profit organizations and government organizations, a non-profit organization has a wide variety of unique aspects. This lecture will clarify the definition, classification, organizational characteristics, and management issues of nonprofit organizations, as well as provide a broad overview of the issues faced by nonprofit organizations, including strategy, structure, and legal systems. During the lecture, actual nonprofit organizations and their activities will be introduced as needed. Through these case studies, the objective is to gain a deeper understanding of nonprofit organizations.

非営利組織(Non-Profit Organization)とは、一般の営利組織でもなく、行政組織でもない、特殊な形態の組織である。一般営利組織や行政組織と比較すると、多種多様な特徴的側面がみうけられる。非営利組織の定義、分類、組織特性、マネジメント課題などを明らかにするとともに、戦略、構造、法制度など非営利組織が抱える問題を幅広く概観していく。講義中は、実際の非営利組織およびその活動内容を随時紹介していく。その事例を通して、非営利組織をより深く理解することを目的としている。

International Activities of NPOs and NGOs

NPO・NGOの国際活動

The lecture will focus on non-governmental organizations (NGOs) and non-profit organizations (NPOs) (hereafter, NPOs and NGOs will be treated as almost the same thing, and the term NGO will be used interchangeably), which have not only attracted media attention, but are already recognized as essential to society. One of the reasons why NGOs are attracting attention is that, mainly in developed countries, the activities of traditional organizations such as governments, corporations, and families that have mitigated individual survival risks have been forced to stagnate, and the modern society is becoming more and more characterized as a risk society. The advantages of NGOs, which are diverse and can provide support in a more personalized manner, are attracting more attention. On the other hand, it can be pointed out that NGOs are attracting attention, especially in developing countries that are still in the process of democratization, as the activation of NGOs and the expansion of civil society will determine the future course of democratization.

講義が取り上げる対象は、非政府組織（NGO）、非営利組織（NPO）（以下、NPOとNGOをほぼ同じものとして扱い、表記をNGOに統一する）である。NGOはメディアの注目を集めるだけでなく、実際に社会に必要不可欠な組織として既に認識されるようになっている。NGOが注目される1つの背景としては、先進国を中心に、これまで個人の生存リスクを軽減してきた、政府、企業、家族といった従来型の組織の活動が停滞を余儀なくされ、現代がリスク社会としての色彩を強めつつある中で、多様性を持ち、より個人に近いところで活動するためにきめ細かい（支援）活動が可能なNGOの利点が注目されつつある点がある。その一方で、民主化途上にある発展途上国を中心にNGOの活性化と市民社会の領域の拡大が将来の民主化の行方を左右するとの見方から、注目を浴びていることも指摘できる。
