There is increasing speculation that activity-induced outflows are an important feedback mechanism in evolution of galaxy bulges, yet uncertainties remain about the nature, dominant driving mechanism and powers of the outflows. In order to address these issues, we propose to make deep ACS and STIS observations of two compact radio sources in which we recently found unequivocal evidence for powerful emission line outflows, and in which all the potential drivers for the outflows -- quasar nuclei, relativistic jets and starbursts -- are known to be present. Using the unique capabilities of HST/ACS we will map the outflow regions in these sources at high spatial resolution and thereby determine the dominant outflow driving mechanism. In addition, by combining the morphological information from the ACS data with information on the kinematics and physical conditions derived from STIS and ground-based spectra, we will determine the mass outflow rates and powers in the outflows. This will be the first comprehensive study of the near-nuclear outflows in radio galaxies. Such studies are crucial for determining whether the activity associated with powerful extragalactic radio sources has a major impact on the evolution of the host early-type galaxies.
