Abstract

While associations are increasingly contributing to public action, little work analyses their collaborative relationships to public actors. In this article, we study the case of the association Nos Quartiers ont des Talents (NQT) which accompanies disadvantaged young graduates seeking employment, in order to understand the organizational conditions of collaboration between public, private and associative actors. We show through its "boundary work", this type of association constitutes a boundary organisation, capable of fostering collaborative management between public, private, and associative actors in which the public actor is not central, and which allows for the co-construction of a service of general interest. We identify four key factors accounting for the association's boundary work: the common framework, territorial adaptability, a meeting place for catalysing innovation, and an agile structure combining standardisation and flexibility.
