This article aims to contribute to reflection on the exercise of authority involved in the setting-up of early prevention programmes in Quebec. These are being put in place in the socio-political context of the recent managerial reform of health and social service systems, a reform inspired by the principles of the “new public management” and by the drive for “best practices”. We analyse some of the social and symbolic dimensions of the power structures resulting from the overlap of trends in management with the reasoning of scientific positivism. We arrive at the hypothesis that early prevention coupled with the new public management leads to the build-up of a hierarchy of powers. The authority of positivist science imposes an additional control on the practice of social workers and on the young families said to be at risk. Source : Éditeur (via Cairn.info) |
