Thistles, roses, thorns: some reflections on third sector/government relations and policy expectations in economic downturn

This paper discusses the notion of internal differentiation within the third sectors in Scotland and England (Vincent, J; Harrow, J. 2005) and the implications for differential public policies towards the third sector during recession. It also considers the question of how third sector organisations in Scotland have been reporting and responding to the economic recession, the kinds of experiences currently facing the sector in Scotland, and whether the Scottish Government?s impressive financial support for social enterprise models and solutions is actually relevant for development and resource purposes across the entire sector.
