Cross-sector collaboration is a powerful tool for solving seemingly intractable societal problems. The public, non-profit, and private sectors are often seen as distinct entities with their own missions and challenges. However, this book demonstrates how these sectors can work together to achieve common goals and address complex issues. In the face of multiple challenges, the United States needs cross-sector collaborations more than ever to recover from the economic, health, and social dislocations caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. Cooperation among sectors can inspire trust and confidence in institutions, which is essential for addressing public problems. This book reviews the state of cross-sector collaborations, identifies emerging practices, and offers a range of perspectives from experts in the field. Practitioners show how cooperation among sectors is relevant to their core missions, while scholars from a wide range of disciplines discuss both the broad and specific concepts that advance understanding of cross-sector collaboration. The book's core conclusions should be of particular interest to leaders in each of the broad sectors, as well as educators and students at both the undergraduate and graduate level.
