This paper reports the findings of a scoping study on the role of the third sector in Scotland. It combines an in depth literature review and interviews with key government and third sector leaders. It aims to identify knowledge gaps regarding the third sector in Scotland and lay the groundwork for a larger ESRC research grant bid. This latter bid will aim to embed Scottish experience in the work of the Third Sector Research Centre and contribute to evidence-based policy making in Scotland. Key terms: policy; conceptualization; relational capital; localism; Single Outcome Agreements; recession; democratic engagement; outreach; government relations.
