  • Summary

    Lamothe and colleagues view the nonprofit sector as being intentionally engineered or designed by government to create specific behaviors in the economy. This chapter examines the ways in which government and legal structures envision desirable outcomes in the broad economy and develop laws and policies intended to yield specific institutional state-sanctioned outcomes in the private market. Drawing on the Korean context as an example, the authors explore what government design of the social sector says about not only the strong-state context present in the global East, but also how this lens helps us to reinterpret our understanding of the legal underpinnings of the nonprofit sector elsewhere.
