Abstract |
We are living in a complex society where the policy frameworks in place often seem to fall short of providing satisfying solutions to a growing number of problems. This does not necessarily mean that the frameworks as such are to be changed. As existing frameworks are a result of historic development and reflect a balance of different interest groups, they are therefore not easy to alter, and it is hard to predict whether changing a policy framework will lead to a higher level of satisfaction. But while we may have to live with given policy settings, partnerships can be a great help in improving their performance: area based partnerships provide a mechanism for local organisations, to work together and adapt policies to better reflect the needs of people and the economy at the local level. |
