Abstract

Using case studies of neighborhood organizations in Canada and Israel, the authors consider relations between neighborhood organizations, the welfare state, and citizenship rights during the twentieth century. These welfare states display real differences but also enough instructive similarities to illuminate the robustness of their argument. Following a theoretical discussion, they identify, primarily on the basis of ethnographic study, five regimes that have produced a distinctive conjuncture of types of organizations, forms of the welfare state, and outcomes in terms of citizenship rights. With qualifications, they find the coproduction, or partnership, model most promising in securing citizenship rights and urban governability.
