Social management as a political project and a discursive practice
Main Article Content
Abstract
This paper aims to discuss to what extent social management is configured as a political project towards a more democratic society, a less classist State, starting from the analysis of the epistemological foundations of managerial public administration and the dichotomy between politics and administration. Thus, we intend to reveal its emancipatory nature, by transforming the communicative power, which emerges from the free public spheres, in administrative power, influencing the State’s decisions and preventing a colonization of the life world by normative and instrumental ideals of the State and the market.
