In their US study, Holland et al. talk of ‘neo-liberal hybrids’ that bridge – and transform – previous public–private distinctions, creating partnerships that may both serve ‘public interests’ by drawing on private resources (financial capital, expertise, etc.) but may also put public resources (including political legitimacy) into the service of private interests.

Publics, Politics and Power

Janet Newman and John Clarke

Rather than seeing the personal as distinct from the so-called political, feminists argue that we should pay particular attention to the ways in which our personal lives both affect and are affected by formal political rules in society. __How I spend my own money, what I dream about, how I dress, who I spend my time with, who I desire, what my gender is or isn't – all of these are highly political and social questions.__ This, of course, does not mean or imply that they should be subject to state control or interference. What it does mean is that __they are worthy subjects of political reflection, debate, and organised action__.

Paul Raekstad and Sofia Saio Gradin
