Social enterprise is more than charity and more exciting than plain business. Come along for some stimulating discussion and interesting debate on how Scotland does Big Society (and that has nothing to do with politics and everything to do with making an impact). If you are looking for a career that delivers impact as well as earning a salary you should consider the growing social enterprise world. |

Abstract: Much has been said about the potential transformative appeal of e-government initiatives in the relationship between government and citizen. This paper explores the major UK initiative to utilise crowd-sourcing for regulatory reform initiatives, namely the Red Tape Challenge. It explores the underlying motives, the administrative machinery and the political decision-making process underlying the Red Tape Challenge. Furthermore, it investigates the actual web-based commentary. In conclusion, the paper suggests that the Red Tape Challenge does not offer a major new departure in terms of using e-government tools for the informed discussion of regulation. |

The Third Sector in a Time of Risk and Uncertainty. This international workshop is a celebration of the contribution and continuing involvement of Irvine Lapsley to third sector studies. At a time of great uncertainty in the global economy and the impact of this upon local communities, this workshop will bring together the cutting edge research to consider the impact of this uncertainty upon the third sector. It will seek to evaluate whether these organisations are 'at risk' along a number of dimensions - and how they are responding to these risks. The foremost third sector researchers from across Europe will present at the workshop, together with a panel of leading directors and chief executives from the third sector in Scotland. Together, they will enable a discussion about 'whether the third sector is at risk'. |
