| Summary: | This study seeks to contribute missing data to existing studies on the comparative nature of global third sector economies. Iceland, a modern, high-income, high-service society on the cusp of the Arctic Circle has not been included in these studies while the other four Nordic countries have all been analyzed. This study aims to map over 12,000 registered third sector organizations in Iceland to demonstrate the type and level of public-facing organized activity in the country. The quantitative research design relied heavily on the concept and inspiration of the Johns Hopkins Comparative Nonprofit Sector Project and proved that Iceland was indeed a part of the “global associational revolution.” |
