Researchers working in the field in the UK consider the impact of involvement in the delivery of public services on third sector organizations and their stakeholders, including volunteers and users; the role of their involvement in the understanding of the content, purpose, and sustainability of public services; and whether a balance is needed in the roles of the state and the third sector for outcomes of improved, responsive, and adaptable public services to confront major challenges of the 21st century. They explore the wider policy agendas, strategic unity, and evidence base for studying the third sector, including the Labour and Coalition government’s approaches to the sector and civil society, and the scale and scope of the third sector role in public service delivery; the horizontal trends and drivers across policy fields, including the creation of new third sector organizations, the role of infrastructure, the engagement of volunteers, and the creation of social value; and vertical policy fields in which third sector organizations play a key public service delivery role, namely contracted employment services, personalization in social care, housing, and offender rehabilitation in criminal justice.
