CO-PRODUCTION AS A SOCIAL AND GOVERNANCE INNOVATION IN PUBLIC SERVICES
The OECD considers co-production an important social innovation. This paper discusses alternative definitions of innovation, since traditional definitions, employed by economists for industry and manufacture, do not fit well with public service provision. It then presents some definitions of co-production, discusses the relationship between staff and their clients, and asks whether co-production is based on individual acts, collective action or both. It briefly discusses several factors that can contribute to making co-production more sustainable. This paper concludes that governments should develop more flexible, service specific and organization specific approaches for promoting co-production, rather than looking for simple “one size fits all” solutions to the challenges facing public service delivery in the 21st Century, particularly for enduring welfare services. Finally, it recommends more research to promote sustainable co-production.

CO-PRODUCTION – FROM SIMPLE OBSERVATION TO POLITICAL VISION
Co-production is very common phenomenon in our everyday lives. We are inclined to assist in the production of services that are delivered to us. The work of Elinor Ostrom shows that it is reasonable to consider co-production as an important element in the production of public services. This paper aims to show what co-production is, the kind of implications co-production has for the performance of public administration, and how co-production can influence the political system as a whole. Co-production, on the one hand, could lead to minor changes in the way the welfare state functions; and, on the other hand, co-production could serve as the basis for a new, complex, polycentric political system.
Keywords: co-production, political system, public services

CO-PRODUCTION OF CHILDCARE AND ADDICTION TREATMENT IN SWEDEN: THE SAME CO-PRODUCTION IN VERY DIFFERENT SERVICE AREAS?
Co-production is a term that has been used to describe arrangements where receivers of services are also involved in producing them. This type of arrangements can be found in a wide range of services and situations, which has stretched the concept of co-production to a point where its meaning is becoming less clear. This paper presents research on co-production from two very different service areas that will show both commonalities and differences in the interpretation of the concept. What is at the core of the concept and how can co-production be transferred from one service area to another? These are questions addressed in this paper, using existing research on childcare and addiction treatment in Sweden.
Keywords: co-production, public services, childcare, addiction treatment

CO-PRODUCTION IN EARLY CHILDHOOD EDUCATION AND CARE IN POLAND IN TRANSITION PERIOD. A NEW MODEL FOR SOCIAL ACTIVATION, OR A RESPONSE TO A CRISIS IN PUBLIC FINANCE?
Co-production is a new term in Poland; however it has received significant recognition throughout the Western European countries of Europe. Co-production has been used to describe the participation of citizens, also gathered in third sector organisations, in the formulation (setting the directions and tools) and implementation (the provision and management of public services) of various public policies. These types of arrangements can also be found in early childhood education and care in Poland, as is presented in this study. This paper thereby attempts to investigate the state of the art of co-production, including its three levels – co-production at the service of delivery, co-management and co-governance – in education, paying special attention to the early stage of childcare and education devoted to children at the ages of 3–5. In addition to this, the study endeavours to define the most important obstacles which hinder co-production in early childhood education and care in Poland, with reference to the structural, social and economic factors.

THE THIRD SECTOR AND CO-PRODUCTION – REMARKS ON THE EMERGENCE OF A SOCIAL MODEL FOR THE PROVISION OF PUBLIC SERVICES IN POLAND
The text is a reflection on emergence of the social model for provision of public services in Poland and, in particular, on the state of our current knowledge of this process. The paper consists of two parts. The first presents, in a developmental approach, the main components of this model, i.e. co-planning, co-production, co-governance and co-management. The second part contains a brief description of the state of affairs with regard to each of the components, in the light of recent research. As it turns out, co-planning and co-production remain largely unrecognised phenomena in Poland, whereas the knowledge of co-governance and co-management is remarkably greater, thanks to research on the so-called inter-sector cooperation, i.e., the cooperation between public administration and the third sector. The research indicates that the state of current cooperation is characterised by a strong asymmetry.
