First published in 1998, this volume has been a significant
contribution to current debates over the future of the public
services. Professionalism has been and is a major feature of the
British welfare state. Yet the political, social and economic
context in which the profession emerged and flourished is changing
rapidly. The professional ideal of disinterested expertise serving
the public interest has lost much of its original gloss.
Professional status and careers are threatened by major shifts in
the structure of the welfare state which can be summed up as the
decline of the big government bureaucratic model. Professions
themselves face challenges to their special claims to expertise and
public service from: politicians, senior managers, new social
movements and pressure groups, technological change and not least
from those citizens whom they aspire to serve. This volume asks how
these new challenges are changing professions and how professionals
themselves are adapting.
