Community Groups in Context
Whilst there is a growing body of literature on formal voluntary organisations, relatively little research has been undertaken into the roles and functioning of small, informal, below the radar community groups and actions. ‘Community groups in context: Local activities and actions’ brings together a decade of research with informal community groups and small scale civil society organisations. It explores the wealth and diversity of their forms a…
Grassroots civil society at crossroads
Within the context of acute public spending cuts and the increasing push towards localism, the UK government is increasingly looking outwards to community- and citizen-led action for solutions to long-term social problems and to take on public services. The extent to which these groups have the capacity and willingness to take on politicised roles beyond their purpose and function is, however, not well understood. By reflecting on findings primar…

Both countries have experienced a growth in social businesses, with the UK recently adopting targets for the number of social enterprises established. Whilst the emphasis in the UK has been on their role in developing mixed economies of care and building entrepreneurial skills in deprived communities,…
Welfare‐to‐work and the emerging third sector in South Korea
This article redefines the political concept of the ‘third way’ from a ‘third (or voluntary) sector’ perspective. It is argued that this differs from both the state-led ‘first way’ social democratic ideologies and the market-led ‘second way’ of neo-liberalism and conservatism. The focus is on the distinctive approach taken by the third sector in South Korea, and compares this with recent developments in the UK. Although President Kim's ideology o…
