Municipal cooperation is important for transformation countries, like Russia, which have to develop legal, institutional and political environments for public service activities. The authors recommend FOCJs as an instrument for coordinated municipal public service provision. To determine the suitability of FOCJs the analyst has to investigate the relation between FOCJ theory, their financing possibilities, the fiscal effects, and the legal forms in which FOCJs can operate in Russia. The authors define several forms of FOCJs and sort out appropriate public enterprises of private and public law for Russian FOCJ. To analyse the establishment, the operations, and the competition between FOCJs the authors present three types of models. One relates to the establishment of an FOCJ, the second concentrates on financing service activities, and the third model deals with competition among FOCJs and demonstrates the effects of different ways of finance. The article concludes with elaborating recommendations for financing FOCJ under conditions in Russia.

The aim of this research is to examine and compare the shifting relationships between third sector organizations and local government under the current public service reforms in Japan and the UK. In both cases, institutional isomorphic tendency amongst third sector organizations can be found. However, in the case of UK, more formalized partnership frameworks set by central government as well as contractual relationships has an impact on this tendency. Contrastingly, Japan partnerships tend to be individualized. In this regard, the contracting framework seems to have more impact on behavior of the third sector organizations than partnership frameworks. In addition, the aspect of co-governance of the third sector organizations has been less developed than in the third sector in the UK. This affinity seems to be associated with the lack of sense of identity as a sector and also the lack of strong third sector organizations.

The Third Sector

Journalism(s) at the margins have often been perceived to focus exclusively on public service obligations.The motivation for this lies in the inability and/or unwillingness of mainstream public service and commercialmedia to provide a range of civic programming that caters to the needs and interests of diverse groupsin society. This research, however, shows that evolving socio-political and socio-economic circumstanceshave had a considerable impact on contemporary marginal journalism(s). Whilst a commitment to publicservicegoals remains perceptible, this article makes two key arguments. First, the changing conditionsin which journalists at the margins operate increasingly compel them to embrace mechanised journalisticroutines associated with mainstream media, thereby compromising their public-service function. Secondand following on from the first point, marginal journalism(s) have devised innovative media strategies tocope with the evolving circumstances in a manner reminiscent of the concept of the “third sector”. Thisevidence – based on data gathered through ethnographic research at three selected case study organisations- provides us with an enhanced understanding of current trends in this field. The article highlightsthese developments and in doing so, makes a contribution to the development of a conceptual frameworkof contemporary marginal journalism(s).
