Abstract

Neo-corporatist relations consist of a stabilized institutional exchange between government, civil society and other social spheres. Current research suggests a destabilization of this relationship by ongoing governance developments, especially through the competitive pressures of NPM-style reforms. This article presents survey research of 339 civil society organizations in the neo-corporatist context of Belgium. We find little evidence of increased marketization, contrary to existing literature. In fact, our data suggest that neo-corporatist relations, at least in terms of formalized exchange, are rather stable, although the nature of specific institutions (such as the nature of public funding) appears to shift.
