The paper tries to analyze the following research question: “How does the formation of social capital among activists of community-based cooperatives effect local development?”

Given tight budget constraints and a backlog in infrastructure investments, small municipalities are seeking new forms of providing public services (e.g. eldercare) which build on civic participation. In contrast to outsourcing these services in the form of Public-Private-Partnerships, cooperative Public-Citizen-Partnerships support civic democracy on a local level.
