Summary

The contributions, most of which are easy to read, analyse central concepts of contemporary society from the perspective of studies on governmentality following Michel Foucault. Many of the topics covered characterise the current social environment of social work and have an impact on its scope for action. The volume provides a variety of suggestions for further analyses in the fields of social work and social services.
