Features: This book is a compilation of legal translations concerning non-profit organizations. It selects laws from developed countries such as the United States, the United Kingdom, and Japan, as well as legislation from developing countries like Estonia, India, and South Africa. It also includes laws from former Eastern European countries such as Russia and the Czech Republic, as well as Western European countries like Poland, Hungary, Finland, and Austria. In terms of legislative examples, this book not only showcases the U.S. approach to regulating non-profit organizations based on the distinction between legal and illegal persons, but also reflects Japan's legislative model, which, in addition to general principles outlined in the Civil Code, uses the Special Act for Promoting Non-profit Activities as a specific law. The book also addresses the issue of Estonia and other countries classifying non-profit organizations into corporate and association types and enacting separate laws for each. Furthermore, it includes the Societies Registration Act of India and related regulations on foreign donations. It is believed that this book will provide multiple pathways for legislative reference in relevant fields in China.
