| Περίληψη: | Co-production and co-creation occur when citizens participate actively in
delivering and designing the services they receive. It has come increasingly
onto the agenda of policymakers, as interest in citizen participation has
more generally soared. Expectations are high and it is regarded as a possible
solution to the public sector’s decreased legitimacy and dwindling resources,
by accessing more of society’s capacities. In addition, it is seen as part of a
more general drive to reinvigorate voluntary participation and strengthen
social cohesion in an increasingly fragmented and individualized society.
