This book analyses the dynamics that underlie the awarding of
public funding to small voluntary organisations in the UK. Using
Bourdieu's later work on state power, the author argues that these
competitions for grants, loans and contracts are neoliberal funding
'games'. Such games tempt grassroots organisations, she
demonstrates, not just because they provide funding but because
they confer a symbolic profit by defining the 'winner' and
improving status. Taking part in these neoliberal funding games,
however, can adversely affect the structure and development path of
these organisations. Yet her conclusion is upbeat, focusing on the
opportunities as well as the challenges that neoliberalism offers
grassroots organisations in recompense for the moral weight that
they hold within state discourse. Within supportive coalitions and
with a robust evidence base that re-politicises neoliberal
orthodoxy, in fact, they can choose to negotiate alternative
futures within state policy or to withdraw from these funding games
altogether. This thought-provoking work will appeal to students and
researchers of sociology and social policy, along with scholars of
Bourdieu, civil society and the voluntary sector.
