query: difference between coalitions and partnerships

[Discussion list for COMM-ORG]

[ed:  thanks to David for replying to Kevboy's query.]

From:  "David Chavis" <DChavis at capablecommunity.com>


Coalitions and partnerships are generally treated in research and
practice literature as the same, a form of collaboration collaborations.
There are no uniform uses of these terms. I believe it is largely a
matter of connotation for most groups.
