Present-day citizens are no longer the passive clients of the bureaucracy and welfare workers are no longer automatically the powerful party of the encounter. Instead, citizens are expected to engage in active, responsible and coproducing relationships with welfare workers. However, other factors impact these interactions; factors which often pull in different directions. Welfare encounters are thus influenced by bureaucratic principles and market values as well. Consequently, this book engages with both Weberian (bureaucracy) and Foucauldian (market values\/NPM) studies when investigating the powerful welfare encounter.  The book is targeted Academics, post-graduates, and undergraduates within sociology, anthropology and political science.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e1 Introduction\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePart I Power and professions in welfare work\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e2 Professions, de-professionalisation and welfare work\u003cbr\u003e3 Soft power and welfare work\u003cbr\u003e4 Powerful encounters as seen from an interactionist perspective\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePart II The bureaucratic, market and psychology-inspired contexts\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e5 The bureaucratic context: administrator-client\u003cbr\u003e6 The market context: service-consumer\u003cbr\u003e7 The psychology-inspired context: coach-coachee\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePart III Welfare encounters in practice \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e8 The power of bureaucracy, market and psychology in citizen-staff encounters   \u003cbr\u003e9 Conclusion\u003cbr\u003eIndex\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Manchester University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51040981385559,"sku":"9781526110282","price":76.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781526110282.jpg?v=1750948483","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/the-power-of-citizens-and-professionals-in-welfare-encounters-the-influence-of-bureaucracy-market-and-psychology-9781526110282","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
