In thirteen chapters, the contributors to this volume analyse the
different dimensions of a new form of collaboration, termed
collective co-production, in the Scandinavian countries. It is a
characteristic of the Scandinavian countries - Sweden, Norway and
Denmark - that they have both a large public and voluntary sector.
For decades, the dominant type of collaboration between the two
sectors has consisted of the public sector providing financial
support to organisations in the voluntary sector, while the
activities are undertaken by the organisation itself. In recent
times, however, a new discourse has emerged, with a strong
political focus on developing closer collaboration between the two
sectors. The book analyses collective co-production between the
voluntary and public sectors, and identifies what distinguishes
this form of collaboration from others. It looks at the scope of
collective co-production, how and why it differs between welfare
areas, as well as the political vision for co-production and the
extent to which it lives up to those expectations. This discourse
promotes a type of collaboration wherein organisations,
associations and volunteers can participate in the implementation
of tasks for which public institutions are responsible. The book is
a valuable resource for professionals in voluntary organizations
and public welfare units working with co-production and for
researchers and students in the fields of civil society, voluntary
sector and welfare policy.
