13 Nonprofit & Voluntary Sector Q. 4 (1984)

handle is hein.journals/npvolsq13 and id is 1 raw text is: EDITOR'S COMMENTS This issue of JVAR presents four quite different articles, each of which provides a refreshing perspective on important problems in voluntary action research. In their lead article, Patricia Klobus Edwards, John Edwards, and Ann DeWitt Watts return to the pages of this Journal with a detailed examination of Women, Work, and Social Participation. They document the extent to which differences between the sexes are becoming muted in relation to voluntary participation. Their careful analysis documents an important reality about modern voluntary action, and should inspire much continuing research along the lines they pioneer in this article. The second paper also emerges from the talents of the Virginia Tech faculty. In Urban Community Partnerships: Symbols that Succeed and Strategies That Fail, Beverly Yanich performs a detailed case study of an urban coalition experience in Wilmington, Delaware. Her conclusion that this partnership experience, like so many of those that have become fashionable in the age of Reagan, was essentially a conservative and stabilizing one, is both important and worth pondering in its historical context. Phillip Koldewyn, in Voluntary Associations in Neuquen, Argentina, provides another case study, this time of a regional capital 1100 miles from Buenos Aires. His careful analysis provides both useful data and perspective to the comparative study of voluntary associations. The vitality of the voluntary sector in Neuquen will surely pique the interests of many readers in comparing with communities closer to home. Finally, Karla Henderson in Volunteerism as Leisure seeks to define a perspective on contemporary volunteering that harmonizes with some economic realities of our post-modern age. Henderson's article should inspire readers to rethink that relation between voluntary action, work, and leisure. The next two JVAR issues will also feature contributed papers. Readers are reminded to consider submitting papers for the previously announced special issues on self-help, environmental action, and board-staff relations. These issues are proceeding toward publication at or near the dates previously announced. Meanwhile, submissions continue to arrive at a gratifying pace, but not one that prevents the careful and individual attention to submissions that has long been a JVAR trademark. Readers are once again exhorted to share their work with this journal. Jon Van Til Editor
