Jaki dialog obywatelski? : kształtowanie współpracy między organizacjami pozarządowymi a publicznymi w Krakowie

Cooperation of non-governmental organizations (NGOs) and public organizations is one of the most important elements of relationship between state and third sector, as well as between the state and the citizen. In Poland, this cooperation is locally and regionally diverse in terms of forms and areas of cooperation. The goal of this article is to show and evaluate local intersectoral cooperation in civil dialogue based on the example of Cracow. Basing on conducted quality research, authors reconstruct shaping of civil dialogue by NGOs, actions and obstacles and identify expectations of its change. Results show that civil dialogue in Cracow has some problems - a dialogue exists in a form of the information and consulting, a conflict of interests between public and non-governmental sector was observed and forms of civil dialogue are built with incomplete involvement. Those characteristic cause the meaning of common actions and civil dialogue common creation becomes lost.
