Abstract
Existing formulations of the voluntary welfare sector are problematic and reflect a lack of clarity about the voluntary sector and its relationship to the welfare state. This paper aims toward a new formulation based on a review of existing research and illustrative material from a recent in-depth study of three established agencies. The new formulation suggests that the voluntary sector can contribute to reform of the welfare state-for example, to democratizing and decentralizing welfare state services, and to building cross-class political alliances in support of welfare services.
