Abstract
This chapter presents a conceptual introduction to nonprofit and government partnerships in the context of three different but complementary theories and applies those theoretical perspectives to the case of the growing nonprofit sector in South Korea. South Korean legal frameworks that inform government policies have led to nonprofits’ growth and participation in public services in South Korea. Specifically, we examine the governance and financing structures of public and nonprofit partnerships for services for people with disabilities in Seoul Metropolitan Government. Findings from the case study indicate that the government’s collaborative approach to involving nonprofit organizations in publicly funded services has promoted a service delivery role for the nonprofit sector since the early 2000s in South Korea.
