Fostering Autonomy - A Theory of Citizenship, the State, and Social Service Delivery

About the author

Elizabeth Ben-Ishai is Assistant Professor of Political Science at Albion College.

Summary

Building on a feminist conception of individual autonomy, explores the obligation of the state to foster autonomy in its citizens, particularly the most vulnerable, through social service delivery. Draws on both successful and less successful examples of service delivery to generate a theoretical account of the autonomy-fostering state.
