Outline of Final Research Achievements

This research considered the implications for social rights when welfare provision is devolved from the state to third sector organisations. This research brings together the idea of social rights as claims that entail institutionalised public duties, and that of the third sector as an institution for welfare provision based on voluntary, associational principles. After clarifying the tensions in rights provision within an associational framework, this research considers how third sector organisations may shoulder collective duties independently of the state, or how they could enhance social rights within the paradigm of the welfare state.
