This book analyses the legitimacy deficits in democratic welfare
work using Habermas' theories of communicative action, law and
morality. Based on their underlying intersubjective perspectives,
legitimacy problems can be identified and corrected, e.g. lack of
confidence, dignity, respect, broken expectations, ignorance or
mistrust of its administration. In modern societies with their many
different contexts, a mutual understanding of facts, norms and
expressions has become even more important in order to act
constructively in daily life. These needs have increased the
tension between the individual and the system, which becomes
especially evident when globalised and individualised service users
ask for welfare services. Therefore, professionals must develop an
ability to understand how these legitimacy problems arise and how
they can be dealt with democratically. This book responds to these
needs, and will be of interest to students, scholars and
practitioners working across democratic welfare, social policy,
social work, and sociology.
