Counter-professionalisation in collective childcare: The case of communities of care in Barcelona
Post-industrial transformations have significantly reshaped how young children are cared for outside the family home. Among other factors, the labour market participation of young mothers and a concomitant wish for intensive mothering have led to more diversified childcare solutions for the under-threes. Collective childcare projects (CCPs) promote approaches that are based on a home-like care environment and are run by educators and parents who …
Integrating social innovation and public policy: Lessons from early childhood education and care in Barcelona, Spain
Social innovation has broadly been defined as citizen-led initiatives aimed at improving community welfare through collaborative relationships. However, numerous studies demonstrate that social innovation might actually create new inequalities. In this paper, we address the following questions: how might socially innovative projects influence public policy? How can we understand a policy shift leading to institutions not only giving support to so…
Women’s empowerment and social innovation in childcare: The case of Barcelona, Spain
Social innovation and empowerment are complex concepts that, from an analytical point of view, are not necessarily related. One explicit goal of social innovation is to empower communities, as well as the individuals that are involved in activities within those communities, but this does not necessarily always occur. Here we address the question ‘Does social innovation in early childhood education and care (ECEC) empower women?’ First, we explore…
La innovación social en los cuidados 0-3: Entre la desigualdad y la equidad en las políticas públicas
La innovación social es un concepto teórico que ha sido aplicado al debate sobre el estado de bienestar en el ámbito local, por su capacidad de identificar propuestas de iniciativa comunitaria con potencial para generar buenas prácticas para la innovación en las políticas públicas. A pesar de su reconocido potencial innovador, muchos autores han adoptado una mirada crítica hacia estas experiencias. La participación en la innovación social se conc…
Facilitators and challenges of community action for health. Comparative analysis of four case studies in neighbourhoods of Barcelona
In a context of welfare austerity and growing inequalities many citizens ask for public sector reforms in the health sector and for community action as a relevant practice. However, analyses of community action for health are still limited to single actions. For this reason, this article analyzes community action for health as a whole process of a public intervention in the neighbourhood context, including multiple actors and actions. Based on re…
Constraints on political autonomy in decentralized Spain? Analysing the impact of territorial financing and governments’ ideology on regional policy-making
This article analyses the impact of state decentralization on one aspect of territorial diversity, specifically on the policy discretion of regions, as an expression of their political autonomy for self-government. Our interest focuses on the factors that determine the decisions and actions of regional governments in developing their policies. We ask: why do regional governments take different public policy options? Conceding that several factors…
Measuring and Analysing Community Action for Health: An Indicator-Based Typology and Its Application to the Case of Barcelona
Explaining cross-regional policy variation in public sector reform: Institutions and change actors in the health sector in Spain
How can we explain cross-regional policy variation? That is, how can we understand different policy outcomes within similar institutional and organizational settings? Scholars have recently reflected on the new institutionalist explanatory pitfall involved in assuming a causality link between institutional factors and policy outcomes and argue that such link needs to rely on evidence from policy variables. On this line, recent contributions have …
Spanish and Regional Welfare Systems: Policy Innovation and Multi-level Governance
The debate about the relationship between decentralization and equity has been intensifying in Europe and other parts of the world. In Spain, this debate has been alive over the past thirty years since the transition to democracy, as long as decentralization started and developed hand in hand with the construction of the welfare state. The question is what decentralization represents for the Spanish welfare system as a whole, or how future develo…
The Comparative Historical Analysis of Public Management Policy Cycles in France, Italy, and Spain: Symposium Introduction
In recent studies of public management reform in France, Italy, and Spain inspired by historical institutionalism, the Napoleonic tradition is cast as a causal factor whose overwhelming strength explains how these countries' reforms proceed and finish. This symposium pursues the same research interest in the politics of public management reform and goal of understanding how reforms begin, proceed, and finish in these countries. However, the featu…
The Comparative Historical Analysis of Public Management Policy Cycles in France, Italy, and Spain: Symposium Conclusion
This concluding article in the symposium develops generalizing arguments about the politics of public management reform in France, Italy, and Spain, by drawing out implications of the case studies presented in the three preceding articles. Some of these implications hold that established research arguments about politics of public management reform in the same cultural and geographical area require considerable qualification and reexamination. So…
Public Management Policymaking in Spain: The Politics of Legislative Reform of Administrative Structures, 1991–1997
This case study focuses on extending research knowledge about the politics of public management policymaking in Spain. The case involves legislating to change politically sensitive features of the central government and administration. The study explains such analytically significant event conditions as: an agenda‐setting process that made a policy issue of the formal, structural attributes of state administration, an alternative‐specification pr…
From “New Institutionalism” to “Institutional Processualism: Advancing Knowledge about Public Management Policy Change
Research on public management reform has taken a decidedly disciplinary turn. Since the late 1990s, analytical issues are less often framed in terms of the New Public Management. As part of the disciplinary turn, much recent research on public management reform is highly influenced by the three new institutionalisms. However, these studies have implicitly been challenged by a competing research program on public management reform that is emphatic…
Introducing Purchaser/Provider Separation in the Catalan Health Administration: A Budget Analysis
This article examines the extent to which the Catalan reform launched in 1990 effectively introduced the purchaser/provider separation within the public health administration. The reform had two formulation sources: a law passed by the Catalan Parliament, which left this principle vague, and a further ‘new public management’ discourse, which interpreted the law in terms of a clear purchaser/provider separation. This study uses Dunleavy’s (1991) a…
