Abstract: | In an effort to streamline service and generate efficiency, governments have looked increasingly to non-government organizations
(usually not-for-profit charities) to deliver service to the public. This new way of subcontracting is often referred to as
partnership and has created interesting challenges for both government and non-government sectors. These range from threats
to the autonomy of NGOs to the downloading of deficits to the private sector. The field of immigration and settlement provides
a particularly interesting example of study. |
