This book examines how governments, non-profit and private
organizations, and local networks understand the connections
between public values and social issues.Western societies face
complex social issues and a growing diversity of views on how these
should be addressed. The traditional view focuses on government and
public policy but neglects the initiatives that non-profit and
private organizations and local networks take. This book presents a
broader variety of viewpoints and theories. Looking at various
cases, the authors analyze conflicting values and interests,
actors' understandings of the public values related to social
issues, and their action to create what they regard as public
value. Drawing together these perspectives the authors point the
way to how government and the private and voluntary sectors can
work in tandem to resolve social issues. The study will prove
insightful for researchers and students in fields such as
governance studies, public administration, public sector
management, organization studies, non-profit and voluntary
organizations, civil society, public policy, social policy and
social issues in management. The policy focus of the book will also
draw the interest of policy makers in governmental and
non-governmental organizations. Contributors: P. Boselie, G.A.
