Policy, People, and the New Professional by Monique Kremer
Engaging with the acclaimed American sociologist Eliot Freidson's argument about professionalism's 'third logic' (a viable alternative to bureaucracy and consumerism), Dutch, British, French and German contributors to this volume bring together three political and academic debates rarely tackled jointly: professionalism, change, and policy, in the context of the increasing marketization and bureaucratization of healthcare and welfare. As attempts to cope with Europe's increasingly ageing and multicultural societies are being implemented, this first title in a uniquely positioned series provides an exhaustive analysis of the road travelled so far.
‘This book brings fresh and exciting perspectives to work on the remaking of the welfare professions in the 21st centuryIt addresses some of the key issues faced by professionals, from the ‘contract culture’ and evidence based practice to dealing with multiculturalism or fostering neighbourliness. This will be of immense value to professionals struggling to redefine their role in a changing world; to academics reaching for new theoretical frameworks; and to students of social and public policy.’ Janet Newman, Open University, UK
