This article identifies several such categorisations, and looks at the oddity of ordering wich often sees so-called third sets occupying middle grounds between first and second sets, leading to exercises in continuum-building wich emphasise the hybrid-like qualities of many constituents of those sets. The exploration extends particularly to non-departmental public sector bodies, not-for-profit organisations and state-civil society mixes.
