Anatomisch model van de civil society voor de Wmo

Abstract

Starting at january, 2007 the Netherlands have new legislation that has high expectations of social support by civil society. The idea of civil society is relatively new to the structure of Dutch society and the ways in which Dutch people are used to participate in the public domain. Therefore it is the question what the potential contribution of Dutch civil society can be to social support. This article tries to formulate some answers to this question based on theory of civil society and social capital.
