Abstract

Explores the concept of empowerment and raises questions about the reason for its rise to dominance as a current discourse in the UK public services. Notes that empowerment may be a motivational but also a manipulative concept which can be used by the “New Right” as a means of introducing market values into the public services and to attack the welfare state. Questions whether empowerment can be reclaimed to support oppressed groups.
