Social policy
networks consisting of diverse and independent organizations are a
popular instrument to implement policy at community level. However,
little is known about the way in which different types of organizations
collaborate in these networks and if these interactions depend on the
nature of their funding (public/private) and/or their remit of activity.
These characteristics have implications on the type of resources
organizations might depend on and, therefore, on their participation in
networks. The type of the links established in these interorganizational
arrangements varies in terms of the resources that organizations depend
on to address power imbalances.
