Paternalism--Caught between Rejection and Acceptance: Taking Care and Taking Control in Community Work.

Tonkens, Evelien; Duyvendak, Jan Willem

Community Development Journal, v38 n1 p6-15 Jan 2003

The 1990s saw the rise of two new forms: liberal neopaternalism, in which interventions are not for individual development but prevention of harm or crime; and caring neopaternalism, in which interventions focus on the quality of existence.
