- 2006

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Research on the roles of the third sector in the delivery of public services has so far been scattered. However, there is much to learn from drawing the different manifestations of third-sector involvement together, as each represents an element of the third sector within the public services, expressed in different ways. An interesting question for research and practice is how different combinations of such elements are and should be embedded, given the variations in national structures of service provision. The studies presented in this collection have offered a stepping-stone in progressing towards an answer. Here we offer some suggestions for a future research agenda. These concern, respectively, the relationships between different roles of the third sector, links with the analysis of welfare state reform and the function of co-production.

The Implicit Normative Assumptions of Social Innovation Research : Embracing the Dark Side
- 2016

Book chapter (peer-reviewed)abstract
- This chapter critically appraises the concept and practice of social innovation. Usually discussed in positive terms, the authors ask if there are also drawbacks linked to social innovation. Both the conceptual analysis and the empirical review of findings suggest a number of critical points, such as the implicit values of the concepts; the assumed harmony with economic and technological innovation; the current emphasis on instrumentalising social innovation, for example, through privileging innovations that can be scaled and mainstreamed; and a dominant focus on successful cases, where failure is equally important and more common.
