The role of nonprofit associations in combating social exclusion in France

Abstract: Associations are increasingly participating in matters concerning social policies in France. The fight against the problems of social exclusion and the development of a social urgency field offer many opportunities for partnerships between the associative/nonprofit and public actors.

In Sweden, there is a longer and more firmly entrenched tradition of collaborative governance.…”
