Towards active citizenship and caring democracy? User participation in Norwegian long-term care
The conceptualisation of a caring democracy provides strong arguments against neoliberal welfare states. However, there is currently a knowledge gap regarding how non-market-oriented welfare states are striving to reach their intention of a caring democracy. Based on a qualitative study, this article uses the case of Norwegian long-term care services for older people to provide insight into how this intention is practised in everyday care service…
The Scope of Possibilities for User Influence in Norwegian Municipal Care Services
The importance of service-user participation has been growing in the care services, but what possibilities do service users have to influence these services? This article analyses how structural factors have an impact on the scope of possibilities for user influence in care services, especially with respect to how established structures and frameworks determine users' opportunities to influence both the allocation and the provision of services. A…
User councils for disabled people in Norway – from reactive to proactive
User councils act as advisory bodies for the agencies with which they are associated. This article is based on interviews with user participants and agency representatives from a sample of user councils in Norway. The main question raised is how user participation functions in user councils. In general, the findings show that among the user councils there are active discussions, most of the user informants feel that they are respected as equal pa…
The market of personal assistance in Scandinavia: Hybridization and provider efforts to achieve legitimacy and customers
The hybridization of the welfare services has resulted in the emergence of a market of service providers for personal assistance in the Scandinavian countries. We describe and analyse two different aspects of the market development. First, we consider the development of the providers' market and the different regimes of regulations in the three countries. Second, we examine how the providers handle the multiplicity of claims and expectations in o…
Personal assistance: What happens to the arrangement when the number of users increases and new user groups are included
Using data from two representative surveys among the users of personal assistance in Norway carried out in 2002 and 2010, this paper examines developments and consequences of a strong increase of users and an extension of the target group. Users with mobility impairments still dominate, but the proportion of people with intellectual impairments, brain injuries, and sensory impairments have increased. The ‘new' users seem to be allocated fewer hou…
Personal assistance as a strategic game between state and municipalities in Norway
The paper is based on a study of the law‐making process of personal assistance in Norway. It discusses some tensions between the state and the municipalities concerning the type and quantity of services with regard to personal assistance. Does introduction of personal assistance imply an extended quantity of services or is it just another way of organising existing services? The signals from the state authorities are ambiguous, and when implement…
