“…This type of analysis has already been done by Klein Junior, Salm, Heidemann et al (1990), which in their study, related the concept of "co-production level", by Brudney and England (1983), with Whitaker's concept of "co-production" (1980). The authors suggest that a co-production research agenda would be in line with the incorporation of more concepts in their analysis (KLEIN JUNIOR, SALM, HEIDEMANN et al, 2012).…”

“…Although mapping the motivations of the users involved in co-production activities was not the goal of Brudney and England (1983), the authors were able to identify 3 levels of co-production according to the scope of benefits: (a) individual co-production; (b) group co-production; and (c) collective co-production. In individual co-production, the user participates in the production of the good or service that they enjoy; In group co-production, the group of individuals improves the quality of the services provided to that group; And in collective co-production, the benefits are enjoyed by the entire community, from the continuous cooperation between professionals and users.…”

Co-production has been pointed out as the main topic in public administration over the last decade, due to the fact that the delivery of many public services depends on the active participation of users. This approach however is still not used to its full potential because of the fragmentation and lack of systematization of the concepts presented in the literature on co-production. This study aims to contribute in this sense, identifying and discussing the elements that might form a more robust and integrated conceptual framework, supporting the research and practice on co-production in public policy. The literature review is based on the classic research produced on the subject, which has set the guidelines for the literature on co-production over the last 40 years. By systematizing and discussing the relevant concepts, this study intends to identify the relationships existing among them, as well as the potential for new interrelationships. Thus the main contribution of this article is to identify the concepts of co-production that are found in theoretical framework and point out the relationships among them. The discussion provided suggests a broad and rich agenda for future research on co-production.Keywords: Agenda. Co-production. Social participation. Public policy. Reflexões conceituais em coprodução de políticas públicas e apontamentos para uma agenda de pesquisa ResumoA abordagem de coprodução tem sido apontada como a principal temática em administração pública na última década, pois muitos serviços públicos dependem da participação ativa dos usuários na entrega dos serviços. No entanto, a fragmentação e a falta de sistematização dos conceitos encontrados na literatura contribuem com a não materialização do potencial dessa abordagem. A fim de superar esse entrave, neste artigo são identificados e discutidos os conceitos da literatura de coprodução que servem para traçar um quadro teórico mais robusto e integrado para fundamentar o uso da abordagem em políticas públicas e, também, seu estudo. A revisão bibliográfica empreendida para atingir esse objetivo voltou-se, principalmente, aos trabalhos clássicos sobre o assunto, pois foram eles que "pavimentaram" a literatura ao longo dos últimos 40 anos. Por meio da sistematização e discussão dos conceitos relevantes, procura-se possibilitar a futura identificação de pontos de aderência que eles compartilham entre si, bem como o potencial que oferecem para estabelecimento de novas inter-relações. A identificação dos conceitos componentes de um marco teórico compreensivo de coprodução e a indicação de como identificar suas inter--relações são as contribuições principais deste artigo. A discussão empreendida abre uma ampla e rica agenda de pesquisas em coprodução.Palavras-chave: Agenda. Coprodução. Participação Social. Políticas Públicas.

“…The starting point is literature on Public Governance and co-production, specifically the work on the NPG (Osborne, 2010) and traditional co-production literature (Brudney and England, 1983;Parks et al, 1981). As Verschuere et al (2012) remark, co-production is a key element of this 'emerging paradigm'.…”

“…It is contested whether an obligatee could fall under the definition of co-production. Brudney and England (1983) maintain that co-production is regarded as cooperation, which should be voluntary and not be forced upon citizens. This implies that compliance should not be regarded as co-production.…”

“…Brudney and England, 1983;Parks et al, 1981;Whitaker, 1980), it has lately become a mainstream topic . The expectation is that when citizens are actively involved as co-producers of public service delivery, it results in better quality, but also in a better relations among citizens and between citizens and government (Bovaird, 2007;Brudney and England, 1983;Levine, 1984;Ostrom, 1996;Pestoff, 2009;Verschuere et al, 2012). The economic malaise as a result of the credit crisis in 2007 increased the salience of co-production even more.…”
