Third Sector. Towards a collaborative Public Service

Tiers secteur. Vers un service public collaboratif

XIVth edition of the International Public Management Symposium

XIVe édition des Rencontres internationales de la gestion publique (RIGP)

Summary

Français English

There is a trend for governments to try developping partnerships with the Third Sector (non-profit associations, foundations, social enterprises and cooperatives...) which is being recognized as one of the main economical and social actor. We may quote, as an example, the governmental project of Big Society in the United-Kingdom. This international symposium will gather researchers and practitioners to debate the place of the Third Sector in the process of creating a collaborative Public Service. Many questions will be at stake: How to define the Third Sector? What is the impact of cultural characteritics on its development? How does it imply the participation of civil society to the co-production of Public Services? Is it a "miracle cure" in this time of pressure on the public purse?
