“…Manning (2018) found them to be citizens who generally vote and engage with representative democracy in other respects (e.g., keeping themselves informed regarding political issues and options). Lindsey and Mohan (2019) found many panellists to be volunteers not only for MO, but also for other civil society organisations and projects (of the kind prominent during the COVID‐19 pandemic, e.g., mutual aid organisations and projects – on which see Mould et al, 2022). All this is consistent with Pattie et al's (2004) findings on citizenship in general: that people who volunteer for one organisation or project (e.g., MO) tend to practice good citizenship in other ways too – by volunteering for other organisations and projects, and by participating in politics (both formally, e.g., voting, and informally, e.g., signing petitions).…”

During the COVID-19 pandemic, there was much discussion of good (and bad) citizenship. In the UK, until a significant proportion of the population was vaccinated, much of this discussion focused on (non-)compliance with government rules concerning geographical behaviour (e.g., Webster et al., 2020;Wright et al., 2021) -rules requiring people to stay at home, meet others outside, keep two metres apart, wear face coverings in certain places, and so on. One prominent view in this discussion was developed by psychologists and behavioural scientists, who argued that: rates of compliance were generally high (Fancourt & Steptoe, 2020); examples of non-compliance were explained less by psychological factors such as panic or fatigue, and more by systematic factors such as just-in-time supply chains or lack of government support (Drury et al., 2020); and the preoccupation of government ministers and journalists with examples of non-compliance led to policy failures, including delayed lockdowns and public health messaging that set norms of non-compliance for previously compliant people to follow (Reicher & Drury, 2021).

“…A consequence of the 1980s was a reduction in the services provided directly by the public sector. The Third Way politics of the New Labour government (from the mid-1990s to 2010) regarded the provision of public services by the third sector as a way of reducing public spending and at the same time increasing community cohesion (Lindsey et al, 2018). However, the Coalition Government from 2010, although claiming that removing investment from the state would engender more voluntary activity in society, continued to outsource the provision of public services to a market of suppliers.…”

“…However, the Coalition Government from 2010, although claiming that removing investment from the state would engender more voluntary activity in society, continued to outsource the provision of public services to a market of suppliers. In this context, the third sector is viewed as just another operator in the market (Lindsey et al, 2018).…”

The purpose of the article is to explain the differences in public policy for sports clubs among European countries. It uses empirical materials from the 'Social Inclusion and Volunteering in Sports Clubs in Europe' project. The comparison is based on the theory of opportunity structure. The political and institutional context of sports clubs provides opportunities as well as constraints within which sports clubs can act. The theories of welfare state typology are used to explain the differences between sports club policies. The analysis includes England, Denmark, Switzerland, Poland and Spain, which 'represent' five types of welfare state. The analysis shows that there are both significant similarities in the public policy for sports clubs among the five countries, but also differences arising from the type of welfare state that characterises each country in particular.
