It contributes to the growing literature on the dynamics between institutions and the professional frontline. To further develop this field of study, a conceptual framework is presented that integrate...

It has long been established that voluntary sports clubs (VSCs) are ascribed a prominent social role by governments. Several scholars highlight the ascribed social values in sport policy to voluntary sports clubs and their possible implications for these voluntary organizations. Most of these studies focus on national sport policies. However, sever...

This article adds a much needed microlevel perspective to the literature on interactions between civil society organizations and governments. I argue that a microlevel perspective assists in making connections between two dominant streams in the literature on government–CSO relations: an empirical–analytical stream and a critical stream. It aims to...

Civil society organizations are valued and used by governments for contributing to a diverse range of public issues. Sports is one of those domains in which voluntary organi...

It has long been established that civil society organizations (CSOs) are ascribed a prominent social role by many governments (e.g. Bode & Brandsen, 2014; Brandsen et al., 2014). Scholars highlight the social values that governments ascribe to voluntary organizations (e.g. Pestoff & Brandsen, 2010) and the possible implications for civil society or...

Studies on sport mega-events and their legacies often seem only loosely connected to local experiences. Stories on sport mega-event legacy appear as a setting-the-scene or function as a reference to illustrate specific types of legacy. However, stories themselves are never the primary focus in these studies. What is generally lacking from these stu...

Within governance literature the dominant narrative is that government is losing its hierarchical position and cannot authoritatively steer public policy. As a result new modes of public governance arise which have been described as network governance (Rhodes, 1997). Civil society organisations (CSOs) play an important role in such networks (Stoker...
