Abstract
This paper advances knowledge of how civil society organisations (CSOs) negotiate the shift from boom-time public expenditure to governmental austerity.
The study focuses on the Republic of Ireland, where CSOs occupied an important role in providing a voice for “vulnerable” citizens in corporatism for over a decade. The global financial crisis and subsequent austerity measures caused the country’s model of corporatist-style “social partnership” to collapse.
The article connects CSOs’ adaptation to austerity measures when protecting the “people behind the cuts” to broader questions about co-optation of civil society through state-led policy-making institutions.
