We report on a specific initiative, the Local Learning and Employment Networks (LLEN) established by the Victorian Government in Australia in 2001, documenting the nature of this initiative and how it isplaying out. We draw attention to some of the tensions that exist between different agencies, including different agencies within government. Through this detailed case study it is possible to identify parallels between LLEN and other social partnership initiatives developing in other parts of the world. This process of situating a specific Australian partnership within the wider trend to social partnerships permits a more contextualised analysis. It shows the way social partnerships are developing as a consequence of education reform shaped by neo-liberal governance and various patterns of compliance and resistance to this political rationality.  \nBetween late 2000 and 2001, the Victorian State Government established Local Learning and Employment Networks (LLEN) on a regional geographic basis. The establishment process was organised in two phases so that now, in 2003, there are 31 LLEN covering the whole of the state. The LLEN were charged with two key responsibilities. They were required to engage in community building through reinvigorating local co-operative approaches to planning, community renewal and effective service delivery. They were also required to support and build shared responsibility of, and ownership for, post compulsory education and training, especially for 15-19 year olds.  \nThe Australian Educational Researcher, Volume 32, Number 1, April 2005 •25  \nTERRI SEDDON, ALLIE CLEMANS, STEPHEN BILLETT  \nIn this paper we report on the development of the LLEN. Our purpose is, firstly, to tell the story of LLEN as a particular case in the wider global trend to social partnership and inter-agency working. Through this case, we suggest that there are different ways of thinking about social partnerships and what is entailed in partnership work. We highlight the paradoxes of partnership and consider their prospects.  \nThe research reported in this paper draws on the data and analysis generated in two funded projects conducted between 2002-3. Seddon, Fischer, Clemans and Billett (2002) undertook an evaluation of the first round of LLENs. A snapshot of each LLEN was developed through an individual interview with the executive officer of each LLEN and focus group interview(s) with other participants in the LLEN, generally the LLEN committee of management. A longer term assessment of LLEN development was facilitated through follow-up contact by phone and through various workshops and meetings. In addition, the evaluation team conducted interviews (individual and focus groups) with other stakeholders. The analysis of data was consolidated in the final report which outlined the emerging character and challenges of LLENs and how their work might be facilitated.  \nThe second project was an investigation of social partnerships within the field of vocational education and training (VET) which was funded by the National Research and Evaluation Committee (Seddon and Billett, 2003) . This project entailed a nationwide desktop review of social partnerships relevant to VET. Forty social partnerships were followed up via a phone survey that obtained factual information about each partnership and more detailed stories about the way the partnership worked, its governance processes and the factors that contributed to success within the partnership. This broad review was complemented by 4 detailed case studies of social partnerships located in South Australia, Queensland and Victoria.
