Changes in the Role of NGOs

»Vesna Leskošek starts from several hypotheses including paradigmatic changes in the area of welfare systems, the changed role of the consumers of services, the criticism of welfare systems and particularly their patronizing role that in the past contributed to the passivity and subjection of people in the system of institutions offering social security services.
