This paper aims to describe an institutional account for the varying relationship between the state and voluntary agencies in delivering social welfare services. By addressing how two traditional opponents pave a way for relational linkages in terms of social provisions, it elaborates the way of constructing and locating inter-sectoral relations in the context of welfare politics, whose fronts would be moving over time. Against the previous categorization of state-voluntary sector links, primarily focused upon instrumental utilities of the voluntary sector, this study presents an alternative relational linkage model that can be socially constructed by the interactions between state autonomy and organized voluntarism at a given historical condition. Such a historical-institutionalist approach results in four possible categories of mid-ranged institutional solutions (legitimization, mobilization, cooptation, and accommodation), all of which are moving along the variation of welfare regimes as well as historical contingencies.
