Neoliberalism by stealth? Exploring continuity and change within the UK social enterprise policy paradigm
研究英国社会企业政策在政治经济危机期间的连续性与变革，发现政策背后的认知理念（新自由主义）未变，但规范理念有所调整，表明政策范式比以往认为的更灵活且持久。
Social enterprise has been portrayed as challenging neoliberalism, and alternatively, as neoliberalism by stealth. Here we conceptualise social enterprise as a microparadigm nested within wider political and economic frameworks. Our analysis of continuity and change over a period of political and economic crisis in England demonstrates considerable evidence of normative change in the ideas underpinning social enterprise policies. However, further analysis reveals that the (neoliberal) cognitive ideas underpinning the social enterprise paradigm remained intact. This suggests that policy paradigms can accommodate normative differences within a shared cognitive framework, and hence, are more fluid, and have greater longevity, than previously recognised.
