Multi-level Mapping of Tension in Cross-Sector Social Partnerships: A Romanian Response to Ukrainian Refugees
Abstract This manuscript explores cross-sectoral social partnerships (CSSPs) through a four-tiered model highlighting tensions within individual organizations, between two or more players, within the new partnership and between that newly formed entity and the stakeholders it addresses. We draw insights from and develop the model according to the existing literature. We then provide examples of tensions in each of the four levels based on our case study of a Romanian CSSP formed in response to the Ukrainian refugee crisis beginning in 2022.
