A policy-oriented approach to co-production. The case of homestay accommodation for refugees and asylum seekers
本文提出一个基于政策目标的理论框架，区分政策受益者和政策目标，以识别共同生产中的不同公民角色（如常规生产者、客户、志愿者或公民生产者），并通过难民寄宿项目验证该框架，帮助学者和实践者更准确地识别共同生产者。
While co-production has become ever more crucial for contemporary public administration, there is no shared understanding on how to identify the co-producers. Drawing on a policy-oriented approach to co-production, this article develops a theoretical framework to identify policy beneficiaries and policy targets by looking at policy goals. Based on this distinction, we shed light on the different role that citizens can play in co-production, i.e., regular producers, clients, volunteers, or citizen producers. To validate this theoretical framework empirically, the article analyses different homestay-accommodation projects for refugees. Our findings will help scholars and practitioners to identify co-producers more accurately.
