| Description | The goal of this paper was to investigate the scale and nature of relationships between governmental and private sectors in co-production/ co-creation of public services in Slovakia. Based on our analysis from investigated cases we can state that the role of local self-government in co-creation in Slovakia is rather limited. Our opinion is that the main problem and reason of this situation lies in the traditions and type of governance inherited from previous socialist history of Slovakia and cannot be treated immediately. In Slovakia, social innovation predominantly comes from private sector organizations or citizens themselves. The specific interesting point shown in our research was that many innovations in public services provision are based on use of information and communication technologies. |
