N2 - Current research in the United Kingdom, the United States, Australia and New Zealand is characterized by a number of related trends. These trends can be read within and against the impact of neoliberalism and neo-conservatism (Rose, 1997). Neoliberalism has introduced, over the past two decades, increasing government of individuals, including both greatly increased surveillance and accountability and a relinquishing of care and responsibility for individuals. Care and responsibility are shifted back to individuals themselves. To instantiate increased government control while appearing to relinquish responsibility, government funding has been tied to outcomes of a specified, narrow, quantifiable kind, which in turn has been accompanied by reductions in and competition over funding, thus encouraging, even mandating, compliance.
