characterization of “hollow state (Peters, 1993)” and

Another recurring theme in the literature is the
inability to create sustainable, effective, and inclusive
governing structure unless clearer about ways to incorporate
private sector and civil society organizations

Pierre, 1998). In addition, others have raised the increasing
importance of nonprofit actors in the delivery of
public services (Salamon, 1994; Smith & Lipsky, 1993).
