The task of this paper is to offer an analysis of the Faith-Based and Community Initiative (FBCI) established by George W. Bush and continued under the Obama administration based on a critical and decentred approach to Governance (networks). The paper starts out by placing FBCI in the context of the welfae reform of 1996 arguing that both share certain basic assumptions, for example, regarding the nature of poverty, and the FBCI is analysed as a typical case of (welfare) state restructuring from government to governance. Emphasis is given to the way discourses and traditions such as communitarisnism and public choice have shaped the formation of this new governance arrangement in the field of social service delivery in oder to strive or a 'decentring' of FBCI by drawing attention to actors beliefs and worldviews. Finally, I argue that it is not least because of a divergence of suchj views between policy-makers and faith-based organizations that the effect of FBCI remains for the time being limited. - Reproduced. |
