Outreach governance in times of transition

The studies, conducted by the Amsterdam WMO (Netherlands Social Support Act) workshop between 2009 and2011, were set up to discover what citizens and social workers should be doing differently to make a success of the transformation from welfare state to a participatory society. In the first place that is to say: to prevent citizens in the most vulnerable situations from suffering. Although the focus lies on citizens and social workers, it is also evident that in the social sector managers, administrators and policy staff can make or break a successful transformation.These are all reasons for devoting a book to this subject.
