有人认为，新自由主义议程导致了一个由志愿组织组成的“影子国家”的出现，这些组织提供了过去由国家负责的服务。本文探讨了这一想法的背景下，自愿组织的寻求庇护者和难民在伦敦和更多的周边地区在英国。作者的调查工作证实，在联合王国与寻求庇护者和难民打交道的志愿组织的数量显著增加，考虑到20世纪90年代末和2000年初进入该国的寻求庇护者人数的增加，这也许并不奇怪。然而，理解这些组织的作用、它们的地理位置以及它们与国家的关系，比影子国家理论所提出的要复杂得多。特别是它认为，模式和性质的活动，志愿组织是非常不同的，在伦敦从其他更外围的地方。
It has been suggested that neo-liberal agendas have resulted in the emergence of a “shadow state” made up of voluntary organisations that deliver services that used to be the state’s responsibility. This paper examines this idea in the context of voluntary organisations for asylum seekers and refugees in London and more peripheral areas in the UK. The authors’ survey work confirms that the number of voluntary organisations engaging with asylum seekers and refugees in the UK has grown significantly, perhaps not surprising given the rise in the numbers of asylum seekers entering the country in the late 1990s and in early 2000. Understanding the role of these organisations, their geography and their relationship with the state is shown, however, to be more complex than proposed by the shadowstate thesis. In particular it is argued that the pattern and nature of activities of voluntary organisations is very different in London from other, more peripheral places.
