Field Emergence in Civil Society
The paper aims to develop a better understanding of the evolution and structuration of contemporary civil society fields. It applies analytical elements from field theories and closely related network governance literature within a qualitative research design to explore collective action around community-led housing (CLH) in England, a label assigned to a range of alternative housing models. We argue that collective action needs to be understood …

State directed hybridity? – the relationship between non-profit housing organizations and the state in three national contexts
This paper presents results from the first international comparative study of non-profit housing organizations in Australia, England and the Netherlands to engage with panels of organizational leaders. The study uses a ‘modified Delphi method’ with Likert-type scaled surveys, followed by in-depth interviews. The paper introduces the concept of hybridity as a way of understanding the interaction of state, market and community drivers in steering n…
The Third Sector Delivering Public Services
The Governance of Mandated Partnerships
Partnership working is nowadays a seemingly ubiquitous aspect of the management and delivery of public services, yet there remain major differences of opinion about how they best work for the different stakeholders they involve. The balances between mandate and trust, and between hard and soft power, are crucial to current debates about public service partnerships. This paper explores the example of social housing procurement in Northern Ireland,…
Competing Drivers of Hybridity
This paper explores the complex process of hybridisation of third-sector housing and support organisations (TSOs) in Northern Ireland. The focus of the study is the policy field of housing-related support services, known in the UK as ‘Supporting People’. This is a hybrid policy field involving several government departments, a number of market mechanisms and two types of third-sector actors. The exercise of organisational agency to adapt to compe…
Exploring the Meaning of Hybridity and Social Enterprise in Housing Organisations
While social housing has long been delivered through mixed economy mechanisms, there has been little focus in housing studies on what this means for housing organisations. This paper reviews recent international work applying concepts of social enterprise and hybridity to illuminate organisational behaviour. It addresses critiques of the explanatory value of these concepts by exploring their underlying meanings and their application to diverse ca…
Conceptualising Social Enterprise in Housing Organisations
Recent changes in the provision, funding and management of social housing in Europe have led to the emergence of new types of providers. While some of them can be portrayed with traditional ‘state’, ‘market’ or ‘civil society’ labels, many correspond to hybrid organisational forms, encompassing characteristics of all three in varying combinations. Nonetheless, evidence suggests that there is a ‘common thread’ linking these organisations together,…
Change for the Better?’—making sense of housing association mergers in the Netherlands and England
Mergers among housing associations have become a frequent phenomenon in both the Netherlands and England. The general literature on mergers highlights the need for research to consider the wider political and business environment, managerial motives and strategic choices, to adopt a process perspective and to evaluate outcomes in relation to competing definitions of goals and success criteria. This article applies these perspectives to consider d…
Neighbourhood regeneration and place leadership
This article contributes to the development of ideas about place leadership by focusing on the role played by housing associations within ‘place-shaping networks’ in neighbourhoods that have faced a long history of regeneration interventions in two cities in the Netherlands and England. It maps key features of place leadership in comparison with the more established paradigm of network governance. It explores the origins and purpose, content and …
Critical perspectives on network governance in urban regeneration, community involvement and integration
Significant claims have been made about the benefits of network governance and management in securing community involvement and assisting social integration in complex urban regeneration programmes. The move from vertical to horizontal forms of coordination, and the assumption of a more equal power distribution between participants, have combined with an emphasis on mutuality and trust to present networks as a promising mechanism for pluriform in…
Exploring network governance in urban regeneration, community involvement and integration
This special issue of Journal of Housing and the Built Environment on network governance in urban regeneration, community involvement and integration has emerged from a working group of the European Network of Housing Research (ENHR) on institutional and organizational dynamics in social housing. It builds on earlier work published in a special issue of Housing, Theory and Society on network perspectives in social housing (Mullins and Rhodes 2007…

Exploring Change in the Housing Association Sector in England Using the Delphi Method
This paper uses the Delphi method as a way of studying organisational and sector change. It provides a brief introduction to Delphi, its application to public management and its relevance to research on the transformation of social housing. It then describes an application to research on the future shape and structure of the housing association sector in England. The method is used to clarify areas of consensus and divergence, and to identify dif…

Competing Institutional Logics? Local Accountability and Scale and Efficiency in an Expanding Non-Profit Housing Sector
Housing associations provide an example of the non-profit sector taking a major role in public service provision. This article tracks the implications for public accountability of their growth over the past 25 years to become the main providers of social housing. It uses the concept of institutional logics to highlight the conflicting accountability drivers they face and the organisational choices this is forcing them to make. Two competing logic…
The land that time forgot
English Despite a long period of public management reform in social housing, including shifts from state to non-profit providers and exit opportunities for tenants, access to new tenancies has until very recently continued to be mediated by bureaucratic rationing approaches. This article explores the reasons for the long dominance of rationing, and the factors that are now leading to its replacement with more consumerist approaches known as ‘choi…
Devolution and Housing Associations in Great Britain
This paper evaluates, through a fourfold framework, the extent to which devolution in Great Britain has enhanced the organisational accountability of housing associations three years after the creation of the Scottish Parliament and National Assembly for Wales. The evaluation framework examines the goals set for social housing organisations, the processes by which they are set, and the ways in which goals are monitored and enforced. The assessmen…
Local Authority Housing Stock Transfer in the UK
Since 1988 stock transfer has been transformed from a local initiative into a central part of government policy for housing in the UK. It began as a largely rural and suburban phenomenon, generating substantial capital receipts, but has also become a vehicle for the regeneration of rundown urban estates. The trajectory of this process has continued to be rapid despite changes in government and devolution of housing policy in the late 1990s. This …
Organizational Fields and Third Sector Housing in Ireland, North and South
This paper applies “organizational field” analysis to compare the structure of the third sector housing fields in Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland. Following preliminary accounts of history, structure, funding, and regulation, four key dimensions of field structure are compared: interaction, subgroups, structural equivalence, and patterns of domination. In both fields studied, early steering by the state into specialist roles has been…
Modernization and Change in Social Housing
It is argued that past approaches to the research of housing policy and housing organizations are now inadequate and unable to provide a clear explanation of modernization and change. The modernization of social housing is associated with changing core organizational competencies and the movement towards a variety of partnership approaches. In response we develop a tripartite theoretical framework based around new institutional economics, strateg…
Remembering, forgetting and the invention of tradition
The author looks at construction and subsequent use-pattern of round barrows in the Cheshire Basin. He argues that the use of natural mounds for burial during the Early Bronze Age may be the result of mistaken identity, indicating a forgetting of the past

The Social Exclusion Perspective and Housing Studies
The idea of 'social exclusion' has emerged over a relatively short space of time to take centre stage in political and popular debates about social disadvantage in many European states. In Britain it now dominates policy discourse on strategies to combat disadvantage.This paper explores the origins of the concept of social exclusion and the meanings that have been ascribed to it. The paper poses questions which remain outstanding in the debate ov…

From regulatory capture to regulated competition
This paper suggests a framework in which the key influences on the regulation of social housing providers can be understood. It draws on a wider literature to locate and describe the types of regulation found in the English social housing sector. It develops an approach based on interest group theories which see regulation as “an exercise among groups and between groups and the state” (Francis, 1993, p. 8). The development of the English regulato…

Social Origins and Transformations
Following the suggestion of Ragin (1998, Voluntas, 9(3), 261-270), this article uses social origins theory (Salamon and Anheier, 1998, Voluntas, 9(3), 213248) as an heuristic device to explore change in a specific field of nonprofit activity; the English housing association sector. Conventional histories of the sector in the twentieth century suggest a succession of eras with different policy drivers. These eras can be seen as consistent with shi…

From local politics to state regulation
This article reviews the implications of recent fundamental change in housing legislation and policy for race equality in housing. A restructuring of social housing provision; involving investment shifts from local authorities to housing associations, the attempt to introduce market mechanisms and the encouragement of tenants and housing providers to ‘opt out’ of the local state have challenged the local political model of race equality. In its p…
