Co-production in Poland: from recognition to research? Some preliminary evidence

Journal Title: Problemy Polityki Społecznej. Studia i Dyskusje - Year 2018, Vol 40, Issue 40

Abstract

The aim of this paper is to investigate reasons hindering the proper recognition of co-production in public policies and its implementation to current research in Poland. The study elaborates on three theses: existing a veneer form of co-production instead of co-production par excellence, limiting the recognition of co-production to the theoretical concept and its underestimation in empirical studies, and limiting co-production to cutting or freezing public expenditures on public services instead of regarding it as an instrument involving citizens into public policies. The paper is divided into the sections including: the overview of the foreign findings on co-production, presenting the reasons of co-production's poor recognition in Poland, analysing chances of co-production's utilization in research and public policies, and — finally — showing some preliminary evidence from education policy in Poland. The study is based on theoretical analyses of the literature and statistical data, and preliminary empirical evidence from authors' science project.
