Abstract

This chapter provides an overview of political developments and public policies which enabled the development of UK third sector social enterprises. The chapter adopts a chronological framework in tracing the development of UK third sector social enterprises from the co-operative movement to the influence of the ‘Third Way' doctrine (Giddens, 1998). This expression of New Labour political values had a significant impact on shaping public policy and for third sector social enterprise development. This also included a policy solution to a range of identified social, health, environmental, community and economic problems particularly at the local and regional levels (National Audit Office, 2007), including Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. This was subsequently supported by European Commission's social enterprise development agenda.
