Abstract
This chapter reviews the extent and nature ofcross-national volunteering and takes a critical look at ways in which it is emerging as a powerfolforce in globalised civil society. It argues that there has been an absolute increase in the number ofpeople volunteering outside their own national boundaries and tangible changes in the nature ofthis activity, with a move to more mutually beneficialforms o fcross-national engagement, alongside a somewhat contradictory growth in short-term, 'vacation' or 'tourism'volunteering. The chapter looks at both the benefits and drawbacks of cross-national volunteering for the key stake holding groups- the volunteers; the sending and receiving organisations; and the host community - and concludes with some recommendations for policy and practice
