| Abstract: | A four-year study in Munich, Bavaria, examined a reorganization process (decentralization and regionalization) of social services. A main target of this programme was to improve the co-operation of various social service providers. On different levels of governance the reasons for co-operation or non-co-operation were considered. Dissimilar social time and space conceptualizations are an important source of exclusion or inclusion of providers in the network of services. Governance modes in the field of services are described. The study emphasizes the importance of an institutional basis for co-operation. |
