"The importance attached to the voluntary sector in European welfare states has continued to grow. Voluntary Sector Review's wide scope and European focus will be most welcome." Jane Lewis, London School of Economics and Political Science
"In a world where it's heads down, deliver the mission, Voluntary Sector Review should provide a much-needed space to reflect. The sector, and the world around it, is changing: the Voluntary Sector Review will help us deal with that change." Karl Wilding, Head of Research, NCVO
"When the research community is expanding rapidly, the sector's role in practice is developing and policy makers are taking an ever closer interest, the launch of this journal is excellent news." Nicholas Deakin, Emeritus Professor, University of Birmingham
"I am impressed by the growing number of researchers in the field, whether it's known as the voluntary sector, the nonprofit sector, the not-for-profit sector or the social economy. It is also striking to see many scholars entering the field through social enterprises and social entrpreneurship routes. Voluntary Sector Review will be a major opportunity for many of those researchers to learn about the contribution to the field." Jacques Defourny, Centre for the Social Economy, University of Liege, Belgium, President of the EMES European Research Network
