The European Group of Public Administration Annual Conference
Rotterdam, 3-6 September 2008
Third Sector Study Group
In many countries, the third sector is an essential partner for governments in the delivery of public services. This is the case in key domains such as health care, education, housing and social services. One of the most pressing issues in contemporary public administration is how the relationship between the state and the third sector should be organised.
We invite papers on any of the following themes:
Governance: How should relationships with third sector organisations be organised? How are they involved in planning and delivering public services?
Innovation: How can networks of public and private organisations contribute to innovation in the public sector?
Management: What specific issues arise in managing third sector organisations that deliver public services? How can managers balance the interests of different stakeholders inside and around their organisation?
Co-production: Does the involvement of third sector organisations create new opportunities for the involvement of citizens in public service delivery? Are there tensions between the citizen-client-consumer roles of citizens?
Submissions
Abstracts should be submitted by 1 May 2008. Notifications of acceptance will be sent out by the end of May. The conveners will ask some of the participants to referee other papers in order to encourage discussion.
All papers will be made available through our website:
(www.egpa-Thirdsector.eu/).
