Governments around the globe are promoting co-production and
community social enterprise as policy strategies to address the
need for local, 21st century service provision - but can small
communities engage spontaneously in social enterprise and what is
the true potential for citizens to produce services? This book
addresses a clutch of contemporary societal challenges including:
aging demography and the consequent need for extended care in
communities; public service provision in an era of retrenching
welfare and global financial crises; service provision to rural
communities that are increasingly 'hollowed out' through lack of
working age people; and, how best to engender the development of
community social enterprise organizations capable of providing high
quality, accessible services. It is packed with information and
evidence garnered from research into the environment for developing
community social enterprise and co-producing services; how
communities react to being asked to co-produce; what to expect in
terms of the social enterprises they can produce; and, how to make
them happen. This book is an antidote to the rhetoric of optimistic
governments that pronounce co-production as a panacea to the
challenges of providing local services and by drawing on the
evidence from a 'real-life' international study will make policy
makers more savvy about their aspirations for co-production, give
service professionals practical strategies for working with
communities, fill a gap in the academic evidence about community,
as opposed to individual, social enterprise and reassure community
members that they can deliver services through community social
enterprise if the right partnerships and strategies are in place.
Community Co-Production will appeal to students and scholars over a
broad range of disciplines including development, entrepreneurship,
public and social policy, economics and regional studies.
