Market Influences on Changing Processes in the World of Professionalization

Summary/Abstract: In my study, I shall examine which actors play a role in the formation of professions and how the existence of the market influences ongoing processes within the idea and practice of professionalization. I emphasize the changing nature of a so-called “profession”, highlighting three features: 1) the decreasing power of the state, 2) the growing knowledge of the consumer, and 3) the changing role of professional organizations. The process of professionalization depends on the power relations among the actors involved. The professions are also being shaped by market-oriented, management principles - so the market (demand, and consumer preferences) is strongly influencing how things proceed.
