Description of  Policy, People, and the New Professional: De-professionalisation and Re-professionalisation in Care and Welfare

Engaging with the acclaimed American sociologist Eliot Freidsons argument about professionalisms 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 Europes 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.
