The power of citizens and professionals in welfare encounters

The influence of bureaucracy, market and psychology

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This book shows the workings of power in the micro dynamics of welfare encounters. By staying close to real world welfare encounters, the book contributes to the broad scholarly field of welfare studies that either takes a Foucauldian perspective on governance, Weberian approach to the bureaucracy or contributes to the sociology of professions.
