The Effect of Civil Society - Government Relations on Welfare: Longitudinal Study

 

I am researching the dynamics of Jewish Philanthropy in the 18th-19th centuries in the Netherlands. This is done by looking into the relationship between civil society and government. The main theories for studying this relationship are those of Salamon [1995] and Young [2000]. A historical case study of over 200 years will be analysed focussing on legitimacy [Suchman] and proper governance. The research incorporates digital humanities platforms and tools to work more efficiently with the archival data.

This research is intended to enable an improved, more detailed understanding of long term variations in mutual influence patterns and power relations between civil society and government. The conceptual insights could also be relevant for similar modern case studies.
