Between Decorporatization and Contract-Based Governance: The Impact of Public Funding on Voluntary Organizations’ Advocacy Engagement in Norway, 1983 to 2013
本文利用1983年和2013年挪威全国性志愿组织的调查数据，考察公共资金如何影响非营利组织的倡导参与，发现资金金额与联系政府官员的关系增强，而资金占比作用较弱且稳定，且对政策制定参与的影响因组织制度地位而异。
This article examines how public funding shapes nonprofit advocacy under changing institutional conditions, using Norway as a case of a shift from corporatist representation toward pluralist and contract-based governance. Drawing on survey data from national-level voluntary organizations collected in 1983 and 2013, the analysis assesses how the amount and the share of public funding relate to advocacy engagement. The findings show that the amount of public funding has become increasingly linked to maintaining contact with public authorities, while the share of public funding plays a weaker and more stable role. Public funding is also associated with increased engagement in policymaking arenas among organizations with less institutionalized access to the policy process. There is little evidence that contract-based governance has redirected advocacy toward policy implementation. Overall, the results demonstrate that the effects of public funding are conditioned by institutional arrangements and organizational position.
