Evolution of public service provision by the third sector in France / Archambault, Edith   Journal Article
Archambault, Edith Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Summary/Abstract Public services have been externalised, in part, to the non-profit sector in France and in the United Kingdom. This article begins by reviewing relations between the public and non-profit sector in France before 2008, and its evolution since. This has been characterised by the slow reduction of public funding, the adaptation of non-profit associations and organisations, and their clearer positioning within a wider ‘social and solidarity economy’, which was consolidated by a framework Law in 2014. The article then examines the current sharing of responsibilities between the public and non-profit sectors in education, health and social services, pointing to the diverse historical and political conditions which have led to this shared organisation.

Introduction: a country of Her Making / Bhardwaj Datta, Anjali; Sen, Uditi; Sreenivas, Mytheli   Journal Article
Sen, Uditi Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Summary/Abstract This Introduction frames a collection of papers that explore the roles played by women—as volunteers, organisers, bureaucrats, politicians and citizens—in shaping the emerging ideologies and structures of independent India. Although women’s participation is both understudied and inadequately theorised in existing scholarship, the papers in this collection demonstrate that the decades following India’s Independence witnessed the participation of women in every sphere of politics and nation-building. The introductory essay tracks the limits and possibilities of women’s agency and gendered citizenship in these spheres to historicise the women’s movement during the post-Independence decades, and to examine its fraught relationship with feminism, patriarchal society and state politics.

Welfare as warfare: how violent non-state groups use social services to attack the state / Grynkewich, Alexus G   Journal Article
Grynkewich, Alexus G Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Publication 2008.
Summary/Abstract Several violent non-state groups also administer social services. Although earlier works stress the effects of social service provision on support and sympathy for violent groups, this article emphasizes a broader challenge. Namely, social welfare organizations threaten to rob the state of the legitimacy it derives through the social contract. Abolishing these organizations can cause humanitarian crises, radicalize populations, and erode domestic and international policy support. Ignoring them invites the continued erosion of state power. The way out of this dilemma is through a strategy of "displacement," whereby the state eradicates non-state social services while concurrently extending its own welfare capacity
