Justice Interruptus: Critical Reflections on the “Postsocialist” Condition, by Nancy Fraser

New Public Management (NPM) has been adopted in a number of Canadian provinces. NPM is not merely a set of neutral and technical public management strategies, rather it is part of the creation of a minimalist, residual welfare state criss-crossed by pro-market, non-market practices. Drawing on themes emerging from original data gathered as part of a study of social service restructuring, this article elaborates some of the pro-market, non-market processes that dominate state-run and non-profit sections of the Canadian social services sector. Special attention is paid to two processes that have had unexpected but major impacts on the deskilling, disciplining and narrowing of social services work, namely the mandatory licensure and specialization of some workers.

Neoliberal Restructuring, Activism/Participation, and Social Unionism in the Nonprofit Social Services

Have more than 15 years of neoliberal restructuring eliminated much of the practice wisdom and social justice value orientation that strongly influenced social work practice in previous decades? In a recent, multi-year, three-province study of social service restructuring in Canada, frontline practitioners were asked about their experience in the context of constraints such as cuts to funding, new philosophies of service and forms of work organisation. They were also asked what they would like to alter about the social services system if they had the power to enact one change. Their answers illuminate the dilemmas in which social services currently operate in many parts of the industrialised, English-speaking world, as well as highlight the indomitability of worker resistance and the social justice ethic that underlies many contemporary approaches to social work practice.
