Locking Down Civil Society: The Impact of Covid-19
This paper examines patterns of volunteering during COVID-19 in different areas of civil society and demographic groups in Denmark. The aim is to understand how differences in the areas of civil society's political resources and organizational settings, and different barriers to volunteering of demographic groups, relate to variation in the levels of volunteering in periods of the pandemic with different lockdown measures. Using two cross-section…
The Social Process and Changed Dynamics in the Co-Produced Care and Support to People Living With Dementia Within Healthcare Services: An Ethnographic Study
Family caregivers are pivotal contributors to home-based care and support for home-dwelling people with dementia. While previous research focused on family caregiving as a separate domain from professional caregiving, this study aims to investigate the situated co-produced family caregiving, capturing family caregivers' negotiations and co-produced roles in the meeting with healthcare professionals for home-dwelling people with dementia. Employin…
Embedded and exterior practices of cross-sector co-production: The Impact of Fields - Corrigendum
Embedded and exterior practices of cross-sector co-production: The Impact of Fields
Cross-sector co-production involving voluntary organisations in the production and delivery of social services has been adopted across many welfare states. Economic and demographic changes have led to increased involvement of volunteer initiatives in different welfare policy fields. How different field properties enable, constrain, and shape co-production practices remains, however, under researched. In this article, we address this shortcoming i…
Frivilligt emotionelt krævende omsorgsarbejde: Spændingsfelter og grænsearbejde i omsorgen for døende
I en tid med stigende aldrende befolkning og manglende hænder i sundhedssektoren italesættes frivillig organiseret omsorg oftere som en nødvendig ressource i velfærdsstatsligt regi. Allerede nu ses en stigende efterspørgsel efter frivillige indsatser som supplement til professionelles omsorgsarbejde. Med udgangspunkt i et begreb om frivilligt emotionelt krævende omsorgsarbejde undersøges Røde Kors’ Vågetjeneste som en case på en særligt udfordren…
Civic Engagement in Scandinavia: Volunteering, Informal Help and Giving in Denmark, Norway and Sweden
On the Changing Civic Landscape in Denmark and its Consequences for Civic Action
Throughout the past three decades, changing governments in Denmark have been cultivating a more proactive role for civil society organizations by emphasizing the legitimacy of voluntary social work as part of the social service provision in a hard-pressed welfare state. At the same time, political and public actors praise the civic virtues and democratic skills that volunteers obtain when participating in any kind of voluntary organization. This …
The Consequences of Weakening Organizational Attachment for Volunteering in Denmark, 2004-2012
Previous research from the United States suggests that volunteers’ time contributions have declined during a period when participation rates have risen. Scholars have offered various possible explanations for this trend, including generational differences, socio-economic changes, and family life changes. In Europe, previous research has shown that participation rates have risen in most countries, but little work has addressed trends in volunteers…
Welfare Mix and Hybridity. Flexible Adjustments to Changed Environments. Introduction to the Special Issue
Present day welfare societies rely on a complex mix of different providers ranging from the state, markets, family, and non-profit organizations to unions, grassroots organizations, and informal networks. At the same time changing welfare discourses have opened up space for new partnerships, divisions of labor, and responsibilities between these actors. For nonprofit organizations this means that they operate in complex institutional environments…
Mainstreaming Effects on Volunteering? The Case of Denmark
The aim of this article is to investigate whether and to what extent changes in the structural preconditions for volunteering have had an effect on the relative importance of ‘classic predictors’ of volunteering within two areas: (1) socio-economic and status variables that function as resources for civic engagement and (2) value orientations that guide volunteering. Arguably, upward changes in the level of human capital, such as education, or ch…
Tillid – et spørgsmål om moral
Tillid er ikke længere kun et spørgsmål, der har akademisk interesse. I stigende grad er det også blevet et emne, der har politikere og meningsdanneres bevågenhed. Tillid er endda blevet et politisk mål. I denne politiske diskussion ses den danske befolknings høje niveau af såvel gensidig tillid som institutionel tillid ofte som et resultat af en fælles historie og homogen kultur. Med regeringsgrundlaget ”Danmark 2020” som eksempel forsøger artik…
At the Eve of Convergence? Transformations of Social Service Provision in Denmark, Germany, and the United States
Increasing societal heterogeneity, changing demographics, and increasing public debt and fiscal constraints have recently challenged traditional “regime” approaches to welfare state development. Some scholars argue, against this background, that welfare states might plausibly move out of their “regime container” by opting in favor of similar solutions and responses. This potential trend toward “convergence” might, furthermore, be facilitated by t…

Volunteering and Social Activism: Moving beyond the Traditional Divide
This article introduces the special issue of the Journal of Civil Society on ‘volunteering and social activism’. We think research and the scholarly debate on civil society for too long have ignored important research questions that start at the crossroads of the ideal types of the ‘altruistic volunteer’ and the ‘political activist’. Behind the idea of pulling together a special issue was an ambition to open up an avenue for research and dialogue…
Formal and Informal Volunteering in a Nordic Context: The Case of Denmark
This article compares three different forms of volunteering: formal volunteering which is typically carried out in formalized organizations; informal practical help which is most often provided in a face-to-face context and requires the giving of time; and economic assistance which requires neither the co-presence of actors nor the giving of time. The different nature and structuring of these formal and informal ways of contributing to society su…
Frivillig organisering: Aktuelle tendenser og fremtidige perspektiver for forskningen
Dagbladet Politiken bragte d. 29/8 1999 en artikel om det stigende antal danskere, der vaelger at testamentere deres formue til humanitaere og velgorende formal. Flere organisationer og fonde havde oplevet fordoblinger af deres indtaegter fra arv pa bare fa ar. Skyldes denne aendring, at danskerne er blevet mere barmhjertige og altruistiske? Eller maske de stadig mere komplicerede familieforhold, der gor det svaert at afgore hvem der egentlig er …
Børns problemer - det sociales problem
A Social problems’ approach to the conceptualization of the normal/deviant child Interest in children, childhood and child welfare seems to have increased during the last 10-15 years in Denmark. One example of this interest is the various governmental child commissions that have been set up. The general pur-pose of this commission work has been to put children’s rights and children’s needs on the political agenda. This work has in part been guide…
Et nyt perspektiv på magt i det sociale arbejde
Ovenstende to antologier har allerede givet anledning til en del debat, ikke mindst i socialarbejderkredse, fordi de p en meget kontant mde udfordrer selvforstelsen i feltet og bidrager til kritik af det sociale arbejdes "skyggesider" -de situationer og tilfaelde, hvor den intenderede hjaelp og omsorg slr om i overgreb, disciplinering og tvang. Lad os sl fast med det samme, at der er tale om to meget vigtige bger, som bner for en debat vi har bru…
The Moving Frontier in Denmark: Voluntary-State Relationships since 1850
This article explores the interplay between state formation and voluntary action in order to describe and understand the changing scope and type of voluntary activities and the varying role of the voluntary sector. It does so by following voluntary human service organisations within the sector of social welfare in Denmark over a period of 150 years. Four different phases of voluntary-state relationships are identified. The first phase of liberal …
Voluntary organisations and local government: Lessons from a Danish case study
The purpose of this article is to analyse the changing relationships between local government and voluntary organisations in the decentralised Danish welfare state within the field of social policy. Here major changes in public discourse have brought voluntary organisations more to the forefront in a welfare state model whose distinct public character might be fading. However, little attention has been devoted to potential problems resulting from…
