`This is an illuminating and topical study, which skilfully blends together theoretical and empirical analysis in search of the citizen-consumer. It should become a key text for all with an interest in public service reform and the choice agenda, as well as consumerism and citizenship' - Ruth Lister, Professor of Social Policy, University of LoughboroughPolitical, popular and academic debates have swirled around the notion of the citizen as a consumer of public services, with public service reform increasingly geared towards a consumer society. This innovative book draws on original research with those people in the front-line of the reforms - staff, managers and users of public services - to explore their responses to this turn to consumerism.Creating Citizen-Consumers explores a range of theoretical, political, policy and practice issues that arise in the shift towards consumerism. It draws on recent controversies about choice to examine the tensions of modernising public services to meet the demands of a consumer society. The book offers a fresh and challenging understanding of the relationships between people and services, and argues for a model based on interdependence, respect and partnership rather than choice.This original book makes a distinctive contribution to debates about the future of public services. It will be of interest to those studying social policy, cultural studies, public administration and management across the social sciences, as well as for those working in public services.John Clarke is a Professor of Social Policy at the Open University.
