Street-level struggles against marketisation: A case study of nonprofits in a South Korean workfare partnership programme

---

Many critical studies have warned that government–nonprofit partnership in welfare provision can lead to the marketisation of the nonprofit sector. However, this article contends that the adoption of market-like approaches does not necessarily result in the complete marketisation of the sector. Through a case study of Korean nonprofits engaged in a workfare scheme, this article reveals how nonprofits manage to safeguard their reciprocal culture and solidarity by strategically appropriating the methods of the capitalist market. By outlining these street-level activities, this study aims to underline the persistence of cooperative traditions in the nonprofit sector even within a competition-driven policy environment.
