Abstract

The interaction between government and community‐based advocacy organisations is becoming complex and highly structured. While some analysts seek to explain such interplay within neo‐Marxist or public choice frameworks, we argue the relationship is best understood as a two‐way street, full of tensions but neither a conspiracy against the public interest nor part of a larger design to deradicalise social movements. Drawing on a wide range of Australian examples, but focusing in particular on peak women's and ethnic communities' organisations, we explore how social movements have been able to exert independent influence on the policy agenda.
