Participatory Citizens - Desirable? Possible? Practical
Grounding Governance in Dialogue? Discourse, Practice and the Potential for a New Public Sector Organizational Form in Britain
Drawing on debates about the nature and significance of quasi‐autonomous government organizations, this article asks what happens when trends towards agency creation by government and trends towards stakeholder participation in policy processes come together. Issues are considered through an examination of the National Institute for Clinical Excellence, one of a series of new regulatory bodies set up in Britain after 1997 and given the task of pr…
Modernising Health Care: Reinventing Professions, the State and the Public - by Kuhlmann, E
Kuhlmann, E. Modernising Health Care: Reinventing Professions, the State and the Public . Bristol : The Policy Press 2006 . £65.00 vii+268pp . ISBN 1861348584 A fresh approach to the sociological study of professions in healthcare is long overdue. When an author promises to explore medicine as mediator between the state and citizens, to link this, in late modernity, to the changing governance of healthcare in comparative perspective, to relate it…
Some of our concepts are missing: Reflections on the absence of a sociology of organisations in Sociology of Health and Illness
The task of examining just how the concept of 'organisations' has fared in Sociology of Health and Illness in its first 25 years is in some ways unrewarding. The answer has to be -'not at all well'. But why is this and does it matter? Part one of this paper considers what research on health care organisations was being conducted in the early years of the Journal and why that work was not viewed with favour by sociologists. Part two examines the g…
Gender, Democracy and Inclusion in Northern Ireland
Mainstream politics in Northern Ireland has not been welcoming to women, but many women have been present in community and voluntary organizations where their contribution has been outstanding. This b
The Differences between Women are more Marginal'… Catholic and Protestant Women in the Northern Ireland Labour Market
Despite the high degree of interest in inequality between Catholics and Protestants in Northern Ireland, public policy and academic debates alike have focused largely on men's employment and unemployment. The paper suggests a number of reasons for this and analyses the nature of gender segregation in the Northern Ireland labour market, identifying the differences in the employment position of Catholic and Protestant women. Clear contrasts in the …

Medicine and Nursing: Professions in a Changing Health Service
The Sociology of Professions and the Profession of Gender
Notwithstanding the growing numbers of women entering the professions and considerable public debate concerned with equal opportunity and barriers to women's advancement, attempts to theorise the relation between gender and profession within the discipline of sociology remain relatively rare. This paper draws on recent work on the gendering of organisation and bureaucracy to suggest that a key issue for consideration is not so much the exclusion …
Competence versus Care? Gender and Caring Work Revisited
Feminist scholarship and campaigning have been notably successful in recent years in putting the concept of the unpaid carer onto the public agenda. The caring that women do as a feature of paid work, however, has proved a more intractable topic. This paper argues that masculinist visions gender the concepts of bureaucracy and profession, dichotomizing competence and care, and masking both the reality and the potential of public carework. The pap…
Ignored and Apparently Invisible: Women at Work in Northern Ireland
This paper gives an account of some of the authors' experiences as a group of women academics, interested in exploring the patterns of women's paid employment in Northern Ireland and understanding its contribution both to their lives and to the dynamics of the local economy. It examines the form that feminist criticism of official statistics has taken in the UK context. Next, it considers the case of Northern Ireland as a specific context for the…
Organizations Through the Lens of Gender: Introduction to the Special Issue
Protective Legislation in Britain, 1870-1990: Equality, Difference and Their Implications for Women
Protective legislation sets special conditions around women’s participation in the labour market and involves consideration of hours, wages and reproductive hazards. From the late nineteenth century, arguments have been couched in what contemporary feminist theory calls the equality versus difference debate — the call, on the one hand for identical treatment of the two sexes and on the other for recognition of women’s special needs. This paper ex…

The Health Visitor as Mother's Friend: A Woman's place in public health, 1900–14
This paper traces aspects of the turn-of-the century debate about health visiting as an appropriate form of public health work for women. Far from simply demonstrating women's progress in achieving a place beside men in the publlic sphere of employment, health visiting, it will be argued, provides a particularly interesting case-study of the struggle between the sexes to define the contribution which women might appropriately make. Three quite di…
Viewpoint: Things to come: the NHS in the next decade
This paper offers an interpretation of contemporary developments in Britain's National Health Service which suggests that a major transformation is under way, the contours of which, while visible, are not yet fully appreciated or understood. The analysis is in sharp contrast with that recently proposed by Klein and deliberate comparisons are drawn. The paper is in three main sections. The first briefly summarises Klein's position. The second take…
General practitioners and the pull of prevention
Sociologists have often criticised notions of preventive health work advocated by doctors. This work has yielded important insights into victim‐blaming and into ways the economic and political causes of ill‐health have been mystified or denied. While this analytical strategy remains an important one, it needs extending in at least three directions. First, we must appreciate changes over time in the forms of arguments about preventive work; second…
