“…Field-based studies like the one carried out by Fotaki (2010), asking “Why policies fail so often” in the field of health policymaking, or the one by Haß and Serrano-Velarde (2015) examining the effects of government policy on volunteering traditions, are typical of this approach. Other research has been performed with a geographic focus and has looked at the implications of welfare reforms on trust in the third sector in Britain (Milbourne & Cushman, 2013), competitive bidding as a governmental policy instrument in Hong Kong (Wen & Chong, 2014), the characteristics and impact of different institutional environments in nonprofit welfare provision in Denmark (Thøgersen, 2015), and partnership-oriented public policy in Quebec (Jett & Vaillancourt, 2011). Finally, some research is placed within institutional or organizational theory more broadly, for instance, the analysis of government-voluntary sector “compacts” as a recent policy instrument (Reuter, Wijkström, & von Essen, 2012), or that of strategic plans and their effects on power allocations within city organizations (Vaara, Sorsa, & Palli, 2010).…”
