Expansive opportunity makers but selective opportunity takers? Positional agility and tactical social skill in English third sector social service
In a challenging climate of austerity policies, relationships between Third Sector Organizations (TSOs) and the State are often contentious, with great sophistication required to secure a reasonable degree of stability and continuity in services and relationships. This article draws on data gathered through semi-structured interviews with 23 CEOs of TSOs focused on children’s preventative services to explicate and exemplify the skills embodied in…
Changing Policy Environments in Europe and the Resilience of the Third Sector
In the article, we analyse the impact of changing policy environments on the development of the third sector in Europe. Based on the results of systematic comparative research in eight European countries (Austria, Croatia, France, Germany, the Netherlands, Poland, Spain and the UK), we identify commonalities and differences. In a three-step analysis, we examine policy changes, effects on the third sector and responses by third sector organization…
The English Voluntary Sector
This paper considers the situation of the English voluntary sector in relation to austerity-driven social policies. Existing characterisations are outlined and it is argued that the quantitative evidence used to represent the situation of these organisations to date has been partial because it relies too narrowly on financial resource input measures. We argue that the situation of these organisations needs to be conceptualised in a more holistic …
Third Sector Policy at the Crossroads
Constituting the Third Sector
Discussion about, and analysis of, the question of definition and the third sector and civil society more generally has developed to a significant degree in recent years. This paper can be located in a new phase of recent research, which seeks to attend to the historical, cultural and politically contingent nature of this domain’s boundaries. The process of constituting the sector is discussed as the product of new discourses of decontestation an…
The Limits and Possibilities of Third Sector Europeanization
Policy-making on the third sector as a subject of policy in the Member States of the European Union is primarily a matter for domestic (national and sub-national) public authorities, working in collaboration with the third sector itself and other policy actors. However, over the past 25 years, the European Union (EU) collectively has increasingly taken an interest in this sphere. Most of this activity has been low visibility and ‘soft’ in charact…
Bringing ideology back in
The paper draws upon basic distinctions made in Mary Douglas' cultural theory and some of the analytic concepts proposed by Michael Freeden to map and unpack the ideological dimension of recent developments in English third sector policy and politics. It is suggested that the mainstreaming of the third sector into policy debates and discourses in recent years can partly be understood as an attempt to decontest the idea that fatalism, neo-liberali…
Handbook on Third Sector Policy in Europe
Care-home providers as professionals
The financial and social climate in which the residential-care sector operates in the United Kingdom has changed substantially over recent years. This paper examines the underlying motivations for providing residential-care services for older people. We focus on the motivations of a sample of managers and owners of care homes drawn from eight English local authorities, and explore the intrinsic aspects of their motivations, particularly professio…
Direct Payments in England
Direct payments have moved to the heart of the government's drive for increased user choice. At the same time, implementation has remained disappointing. This article explores the demand, supply and related factors associated with patterns of local variability in uptake and intensity of care package provision. Statistical analyses are conducted for key client groups – people with physical disabilities, older people, people with learning disabilit…
The Voluntary Sector
Serving as an introduction to the UK's voluntary sector, this book builds on the foundations lain in an earlier book by Kendall and Dahrendorf. Using a comparative approach to place the UK voluntary sector in perspective, this book considers the scope, scale, structure, and impact of the voluntary sector's activities on society. Based on both qualitative and quantitative evidence, this informative book includes statistical mapping of the sector, …
Prices, contracts and motivations
English The social care reforms of the early 1990s have had profound effects on the domiciliary care system. The adoption of markets and the ‘enabling’ role for local authorities are central features. In contrast to much of the original rhetoric that lay behind these reforms, economic theory emphasises the importance of the institutional arrangements in affecting performance. Given the discretion that local authorities have over the specific form…
Commissioning care services for older people in England
One of the key objectives of the community care reforms of 1990 in the United Kingdom was the development of a flourishing independent sector alongside good quality public services. The aims of the reforms were to increase the available range of options, widen consumer choice and promote independence. The purpose of the study reported here was to examine – from the perspective of older service users, their carers and care managers – experiences a…
The Motivations of Domiciliary Care Providers in England
The independent sector domiciliary care market has always been an integral part of the social care system in England, but has become especially important in recent years. Its smooth running is crucial for the delivery of an effective community care policy. This paper argues that the motivations of these providers is an important aspect of this system's functioning, and derives a typology which captures the most important ingredients which theory …
Interpersonal trust and voluntary associations
The relationship between interpersonal trust and membership in voluntary associations is a persistent research finding in sociology. What is more, the notion of trust has become a central issue in current social science theorizing covering such diverse approaches as transaction costs economics or cognitive sociology. In different ways and for different purposes, these approaches address the role of voluntary organizations, although, as this paper…
Third Sector Policy at the Crossroads
This book explores key policy issues for the non-profit sector against a background of increasing competition, new public management and ever decreasing budgets. Key questions raised include: Is the nonprofit sector in crisis? What policy models are being discussed, and what are their implications? How can nonprofit organisations negotiate a course between commercialization and tighter government regulation
Low Pay in the UK
This paper represents a first attempt to examine empirically the comparative extensiveness of low pay in the third sector against the theoretical backdrop of both the generic labour market literature and the newly emerging specialist third sector literature. It shows that the third sector occupies an intermediate position between relatively high concentrations of low pay in the private sector and low concentrations in the public sector. These dif…
Movement and change
Promoting the development of a flourishing independent sector alongside good quality public services was a key objective of the community care reforms of the last decade. This paper charts some of the ways the independent domiciliary care sector is changing, as local authorities shift the balance of their provision toward independent sector providers and away from a reliance on in-house services. Two surveys of independent domiciliary care provid…
Of Knights, Knaves and Merchants
This paper examines the motivations of a sample of fifty providers of residential care for older people in England in 1997. The theoretical point of departure is the “knights and knaves” categorization suggested by Julian Le Grand. A cluster analysis of the expressed motivations of the providers of residential care suggests three types: empathizers, professionals and income prioritizers. These combine knightly and knavish motives in varying degre…
Ten Years After
This issue of the journal offers a thematic collection of articles, representing revised versions of the best of the papers prepared for the Fifth VOLUNTAS Symposium, which took place at Charles University, Prague, in October 1999. The symposium was timed to mark the tenth anniversary of the many far-reaching changes that took hold of the region in the fall of 1989, when, constitutionally, liberal democracy replaced “really existing socialism.” I…
The mainstreaming of the third sector into public policy in England in the late 1990s
English The voluntary or third sector in England is now receiving more sustained attention from policy makers than ever before.This paper claims that this situation, particularly as given tangible expression through the development of a Compact between the government and representatives of the third sector, amounts to the mainstreaming of the third sector onto the public policy agenda. It seeks to explain why this has happened in the late 1990s, …
Nonprofit Sector Policy at The Crossroads? A Voluntas Symposium
The third sector and the European Union policy process
The third, voluntary or non-profit sector has recently emerged as a recognized actor in the EU policy process. Yet, at the same time, most of the initiatives associated with it have been characterized by inertia, delays and perceived low salience from the perspective of many of the leading actors involved. This article represents a first attempt to explore and explain this situation, drawing upon Kingdon's 'independent streams' approach. Five int…
