The Rise of the Hybrid: Legal Headaches and Multibillion Bonanzas

The Rise of the Hybrid: Legal Headaches and Multibillion Bonanzas: "The term 'hybrid' describes an organization that mixes the characteristics of different sectors. The boundaries between the private, public and third sector have of course always been malleable. Thrift stores sell clothes and CBC sells advertising. The Canadian public health service uses private enterprises that need to make a profit, and holds lotteries to raise funds.

But blurring doesn't adequately describe or explain what is happening today. The terms of debate have shifted. They are about the need for new legal structures, in part driven by the need to increase private sector funding for public good."
