Summary/Abstract: In this paper we define local social policy as an institutional field, thereby limiting our analysis to the democratic entities possessing a decentralised mode of governance and implementing the principles of welfare pluralism in their social policy. The paper presents different dimensions that can be utilised to characterise institutional fi elds, which were drawn from the research based on the theory of central conflation. It discusses the benefits and shortcomings of using the concept of field to describe institutional diversity in mesosocietal interactions.
