Samskaping – nyttig begrep for norske forskere og praktikere?

The Norwegian word for co-creation, «samskaping» has won enormous popularity among public sector professionals. However, it is not obvious how to define the concept, and even less obvious what it means to Political Science scholars. The aim of the article is to reflect on the definition of «samskaping», and discuss to what extent «samskaping» represents something new in a Norwegian context. The article also suggest some possible applications of «samskaping» among Norwegian local government scholars. This article is downloaded from www.idunn.no. © 2019 Author(s).
