Sets up a dialogue between work on the ethic of care and studies of public care in practice. The author argues that care as it is currently institutionalized often both assumes and perpetuates dependency and so paternalistic relationships of authority.

Democracy, Justice, and the Welfare State sets up a dialogue between work on the ethic of care and studies of public care in practice. White argues that care as it is currently institutionalized often both assumes and perpetuates dependency and so paternalistic relationships of authority. Better public care requires that such paternalistic practices be challenged. Care appropriate to a democratic context must itself be a democratic practice.
