Abstract

This chapter focuses on the resource exchange and interdependence in social care for people with learning disabilities. I conducted a thematic analysis using the same set of comparative themes that I used for care for the elderly. (See column 1 of Table 5.1.) Chapters 3 and 5 answered two of my research questions: Is network governance feasible in both England and China? What are the differences and similarities in motivations and interdependence between network governance in England and China?
