 - Oxford :  Blackwell Publishers Limited,  September 2001 
<br/><br/> A paradigm shift is occurring in the way in which the government, business and community sectors relate to each other, challenging each to redifine their respective roles and responsibilities. This paper explore those changing relationships, focussing on how the community sector in particular may move beyond delivering services to be given a greater voice in the government`s policy development process. Overseas, especially Canadian experience is drawn upon to suggest a possible paticipatory framework for progressing collaborative arragements. Challenges the sectors nedd to confront are discussed before possible future roles and responsibilities are suggested
