| Tiivistelmä: | This article explores the changing relationship btw. government and The Salvation Army, as manifested in the development and implementation of employment policy in Australia from 1998 to 2007. The study focuses on the introduction of market discourse throughout the contracting process, especially how this discourse aims to reconstruct service users as 'consumers', and the Salvation Army's response to this. By studying the ways in which this religiously and socially motivated non-profit organization aimed to mediate neo-liberal discourses of competition and consumerism, it is sought to clarify the processes and pressures affecting faith-based and other non-profit organizations increasingly finding themselves acting as agents of government policy under the principles of New Public Management (NPM). |
