Abstract

This document is a summary of PhD research undertaken at the University of Glasgow from 2015-2020. The research was supported by What Works Scotland. The research explored the relationship between the third sector (broadly defined as charities, community organisations and social enterprises) and the state (focusing on the Scottish Government and a local authority). This summary is written primarily with a third sector audience in mind. What follows is an introduction to the research, an outline of the approach taken, four key findings and four recommendations - two of which are targeted at the third sector and two at the state. At the end there is a glossary as well as a list of references. Words or terms that are italicised are in the glossary.
