摘要：The „Big Society‟ is supposed to help create stronger communities that can do more to help themselves without first turning to the state for help. In the „Big Society‟, communities know how to organise local events and services, are involved in running local schools, raising funds for local causes, providing local services and generating neighbourhood plans and budgets. An underlying and key question for this agenda is to ask what we know about what mobilises communities to achieve social goals, and what drives volunteering, co-operation and engagement. What can we learn from past experience, and past studies, about drivers of community control and cooperation?
