Hardball Lobbying for Nonprofits or At the Risk of Being Heard

Hardball Lobbying for Nonprofits: Real Advocacy for Nonprofits in the New Century

Author: Barry Hessenius

This is a no-holds-barred, comprehensive, real-world guide to building political power and successfully lobbying for nonprofits in the 21st century, written by an insider who has been in the trenches as both a lobbyist and a government official.
 
Lobbying in America has everything to do with money and elected officials' need for campaign funds.  Hardball Lobbying for Nonprofits recognizes this reality, and is both a tutorial for nonprofit organizations on how to effectively advocate and lobby, and a plea for the nonprofit leaders to embrace the lobbying function as part of their job descriptions.

At the Risk of Being Heard: Identity, Indigenous Rights, and Postcolonial States

Author: Bartholomew Crispin Dean

Leading experts in the analysis of ethnicity and indigenous rights explore why and how the circumstances of indigenous peoples are improving in some places of the world, while human rights continue to be abused in others. Drawing on case studies from Asia, Africa, Australia, and the Americas, the contributors investigate how political organization, natural resource management, economic development, and conflicting definitions over cultural, linguistic, religious, and territorial identity have informed indigenous strategies for empowerment.
