What they did not foresee, however, was that, once established, the welfare state would keep on growing and would introduce a new set of conflicts around communication and culture. For example, the welfare state extended state bureaucracy and law into more and more areas of the lifeworld, a process that Habermas (1987) refers to as ‘juridification’. Through social policy it sought to govern and reshape ways of life, social relationships and personal identities. In particular, through policies relating to health and social care, the welfare state increasingly turned people into ‘clients’ of state bureaucracies.
