Chapter Chapter 1 in Local Welfare and the Organization of Social Services, 2021, pp 1-4 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract During the last years, the systems of local welfare are undergoing several organizational changes, which aim to redefine the relationship between the service’s planner, providers and citizens and, consequently, between the social needs and the policy answer delivered. The book aims to provide valuable insights into the evolution of local welfare and the territorial organisation of social services by analysing the evolution of a specific organisational instrument, the Local Area Plan, which lies at the intersection between the themes of (sub) regional governance and models for the supply of to supply social services. The research will show how these peculiar governance arrangements to Italian local welfare have changed profoundly over time, becoming both a catalyst for policies planned at different levels and a reference point for all the territorial actors involved in social policies.
