A socio-economic success
At the end of the 1970s, the Basque Country was emerging from forty years of dictatorship in which any expression of Basque culture had been repressed. At the time, the Basque Country was undergoing a serious economic crisis, with unemployment at around 30% and an international image that directly related to terrorist violence.
Despite these circumstances, the Basque Government has managed to transform its economy in a supportive way, reaching high places in international rankings in healthcare, education and income per capita. Basque companies and institutions now have a strong international presence and Basque culture is associated with modernity.
Institutional development is one of the keys to understand the success of the Basque socio-economic transformation in the last few decades.

Lambeth Council, London
Lambeth Council, London국가 UKLambeth Council has been on a four year journey to transform the way it works with local people to become a Cooperative Council. Based on the belief that public services should work with local people to find solutions to local issues rather than simply deliver services to them as passive recipients, Lambeth decided in 2010 to funadmentally review the ways in which it designed and delivered publics services. Following a Commission which engaged large numbers of residents as well as a range of academics and experts in the future of public services, Lambeth adopted a series of recommendations designed to test new ways of working in partnership with local people. In 2012 the council agreed to adopt a new commissioning model as the means of embedding this new relationship with citizens through all the council's activities, moving from exploratory projects to whole-system change. The council has learned a great deal about empowering and working in new and equal ways with residents, embedding co-production into all that the council does and seeking to embed strengths and assets in the community into the approach to delivering better outcomes for and with residents. The council is working with residents to agree new resident-led models of running major services such as parks and libraries and has created a new organisation - the Young Lambeth Cooperative - to enable young poeple in the borough to be directly involved in commissioing youth services. More recently the council has been developing a series of prototypes for new ways of enabling residents to make positive change in their communities through 'platform' models, in which the council operates as a facilitator of community-led activity. The Open Works project is as example of such a project (www.theopenworks.org). -
