| Annotation | In line with calls from the European Commission (EC) for greater involvement of non-governmental organisations (NGOs) in the policy process, this article draws on research across European Union (EU) member and applicant states to investigate the potential for enhancing cooperation between political and civil society actors in family policy formulation. The authors argue that the role of civil society is highly differentiated between countries, due to three key factors - party ideology, political culture and political transitions - which determine the capacity for improving alliances. Structural barriers to development may prevent the EC's advocacy of closer cooperation between policy actors from being successful in the shorter term. (KJ/RH). |
