Australian Journal of Public AdministrationSummary: This investigation of reform of Western Australian community services problematises asumptions about the enabling state. The investigation is distinctive by virtue of its attention to the departure points as well as the destinations in pathways of policy change and its unpacking of three modes of public provision into their three constituent policy elements (funder-provider mix; the nature of agreements between policy actors; and the type of funding relationships). We find first that government had long adopted some aspects of the model of governance associated with the enabling state. Second, we find some path dependency in policy change towards marketisation. Third, we find highly manced policy outcomes combining government exploitation of its authority, market innovations and the maintenance of basic network features of the programs. - Reproduced
