This course focuses on the interactions between citizens, the third sector (or voluntary and community organizations) and government at different levels. In recent years, there have been important trends towards a greater involvement of citizens and civil society in decision-making and the provision of public services, in order to address a growing democratic deficit, adapt the welfare state to changing demographics, and decrease costs. The involvement of citizens and voluntary organisations in tackling important social problems – or co-production and co-creation – is thus a key theme in contemporary public administration research.
