PUBLIC-PRIVATE PARTNERSHIPS IN SOCIAL POLICIES. THE CASE OF THEPARISHES IN THE LISBON METROPOLITAN AREA – Capitalist development is currently characterised by an administrative centralisation with the Nation-State losing power to supranational authorities. However, some functions have been decentralised, specially the ones of a social character, to local levels of Public Administration, as can be seen by the increase of parish activities, which develop their own plans, act in partnership or subsidise public and private institutions at a local level. The social policies that the parishes adopt are influenced by several factors, among which we detect the structure of the territory and the dominating political party within the local government council.
