  ISBN 978-1-56549-314-8; 978-1-56549-313-1 | Lester M. Salamon. Assesses the reality behind the “corporate social engagement (CSE)” hype in Latin America. Challenges the “MBA approach” that has dominated much of the thinking about CSE globally as inadequate for a region like Latin America and posits an alternative “corporate social engagement pyramid” as a framework for assessing CSE.

• Social Origins of Civil Society: An Overview (2000)
  Comparative Nonprofit Sector Working Paper #38 | Lester M. Salamon, S. Wojciech Sokolowski, and Helmut K. Anheier. The availability of comparative cross-national data has made it possible to test the existing theories of the origins of the nonprofit sector. These theories assume a competitive relationship between the nonprofit sector and the state in the production of public goods; however, the cross-national data show no straightforward relationship between the size of the nonprofit and the government social welfare sectors. This paper provides an alternative theory that conceptualizes the nonprofit sector in the broader context of the development of social, political, and economic institutions during the period of modernization. This theory explains cross-national variations in the size of the nonprofit sector and accounts for its different roles and relationships to other social institutions such as state, class structure, and organized religion in different countries.

The resulting analysis discusses how these theories often fail to account for the complexity of the cross-national experience. The authors propose a new social origins" approach to describe the international nonprofit sector.

• Spain's "la Caixa" Banking Foundation: A Global PtP Model (2020)
  Lester M. Salamon and Juan-Cruz Alli Turrias. This in-depth case study focuses on one of the newest and largest foundations to emerge from the implementation of the PtP Concept—a recently discovered, but powerful, “third route” to the creation of significant, charitable endowments around the world through the capture of all or a portion of the proceeds of transactions involving the privatization of government-owned or -controlled assets. Spain's "la Caixa" Banking Foundation emerged from the transformation of the largest and most successful of Spain’s network of trustee savings banks into for-profit banks. The result is one of the largest charitable foundations in the world, with an estimated Gross Asset Value of €25.8 billion (roughly US$29 billion) at its founding, and annual philanthropic expenditures approaching €500 million. The case study explains how and why this transformation occurred, how the “PtP route” involving the creation of a free-standing charitable endowment came to be adopted, what governance structures and transparency provisions were put in place to ensure the independence and accountability of the resulting institution, and what programmatic achievements this PtP institution has produced.
