Ideologies struggle for the Swedish welfare – The political polarization of the welfare sector (English)
Abstract [sv]

Syftet med denna studie är att undersöka diskurser inom det sociala välfärdsarbetet utifrån ideologiskt politiska aspekter. Studien grundar sig på artiklar och publikationer från ideologiskt förankrade tidskrifter och organisationer. I arbetet har vi inspirerats av Faircloughs (2003) kritiska diskursanalys, då den inte enbart fokuserar på diskurs utan även strukturerna som påverkar den. I studien kan vi se hur liberala och socialistiska ideal är dominerande inom välfärdsdebatten. Dessa har kommit att bilda två olika diskurser som konkurrerar med varandra om att bli dominerande gällande hur välfärden ska bedrivas. Idag kan vi se hur den marknadsekonomiska diskursen är den som vunnit mest mark, men det finns vissa indikationer på en eventuell diskursiv förändring. Arbetet tar sin utgångspunkt i två idag etablerade begrepp; New Public Management och Evidensbaserad praktik och de diskursiva svängningar begreppen vållat.

Abstract [en]

The purpose of this study is to investigate discourses influence of the social welfare, based on ideological and political aspects. The study is based on articles and publications from ideologically entrenched magazines and web-sites. We have been influenced by Faircloughs (2003) critical discourse analysis, as it not only focuses on the discourse but also the structures that affects it. In the study, we can see how liberal and socialist ideals are dominant in the welfare debate. These have come to form two different discourses competing to become the dominant force in welfare. Today we can see how the market-economy discourse is the one which has gained most ground, but there are some indications of a discursive change. The work takes its starting point from two established concepts and the discursive fluctuations caused by the New Public Management and the Evidence Based Practice.
