Abstract [sv]

Sedan åtminstone 25 år tillbaka finns politiska förväntningar på att den offentliga välfärdsadministrationenska medge brukarinflytande i sina verksamheter.1 För att få enbild av vad lokala människobehandlande organisationer har att förhålla sig till i dettaarbete riktar artikeln sökarljuset mot nationell policy och undersöker hur fenomenetbrukarinflytande framställs i offentliga utredningar, rapporter och styrdokumentproducerade på nationell central nivå. Syftet är att granska den offentliga nationellapolicyn kring brukarinflytande, för att därigenom synliggöra den styrning de nationellapolicyaktörerna ägnar sig åt (jfr Bacchi, 2009). Arbetet är en diskursanalytiskdokumentstudie och den övergripande fråga som väglett undersökningen är: Hurkonstrueras fenomenet brukarinflytande i svensk nationell välfärdspolicy?

Abstract [en]

The political meaning of user involvement – Consensus, individualization, and de-politicization in the national policy discourseDuring the last 25 years ”user involvement” has emerged as a prominent concept within the welfare sector, and the aim of the article is to review the Swedish national policy on ”user involvement”. Through a policy discourse analysis inspired by Carol Bacchi, the constitutive effects of the policy are revealed. Three distinctive features of the policy discourse are (1) its open and imprecise formulation, (2) its dominating consensus perspective, and (3) the tendency to focus the argumentation on the service users as individuals, rather than the service users as a collective. The policy has several discursive consequences, such as constructing the service users as subjects responsible for their own well-being; that potential value conflicts are avoided; and that the service users’ ambitions to influence are directed towards welfare organizations rather than political decision-making.
