Civic Service Worldwide: Impacts and Inquiry

By CSD • July 1, 2007October 27, 2021

This comprehensive collection of research and policy developments in civic service worldwide provides an informed assessment of what works and what doesn’t work in the field. With contributions from some of the discipline’s best-known global leaders, it presents a conceptualization and operational definition of civic service that allows for variations across nations and cultures. Civic Service Worldwide offers a perspective on the history and potential for civic service from its roots in military service. It summarizes the effects of national service in diverse countries, and identifies important developments in service, including service across the lifespan and transnational service. The editors and contributors also address key questions and promising theoretical and methodological approaches for advancing knowledge in the field.
