Some Useful Sources
This contribution to the themed section on ‘Labour in Government’ provides annotated suggestions and some general guidance related to additional sources to support reading and research around the topic of the UK Labour Party and social policy. It gathers academic sources (books and journal articles) alongside those drawn from web accessible materials, both formal (government) and relevant grey literature
Introduction
The introduction to the themed section on ‘Labour in Government and Its Impact on Social Policy’ is setting the scene for the following articles in three steps: First, it sketches the social policy landscape at the start of the Labour Party’s current term in government, shaped by New Labour and the following years of Conservative (and Conservative-Liberal Democrat coalition) rule. Secondly, to contextualise the broader political backdrop for the …
Philanthrocapitalists in global social policy
Crises of the welfare state, resilience, and pessimism of the intellect
The crises faced by welfare states have now endured for significantly longer than the counter‐period of stability, calm and cooperation between the 1940s and 1970s. Systemic crisis of welfare states tied to the contradictions of capitalism, and the exogenous crises for the welfare state that have afflicted its expansion have, however, been met by faith in its resilience evidenced in its economic functions and popularity. We question the basis for…
Social policies, risks and vulnerabilities
This article investigates into how gender-neutral social policies affect gender dynamics of labour market participation, family life and livelihood. Taylor-Gooby’s [“New risks and social change”, pp. 1–28, 2004] new social risks concept and Holmes and Jones’ [Rethinking Social Protection from a Gender Lens. ODI Briefing Paper, 2010] framework are used to probe into the deepening of existing gender inequalities in the Mauritian multicultural socie…

The Legacy of Austerity
In considering the impact of austerity, much attention has been focused on the immediate effects of public spending cuts and on documenting the resulting increase in hardship and unmet needs. However, in calculating the consequences of austerity for the welfare state, it is its enduring legacy that is equally important. This article examines the proposition that the indirect effects of austerity on social, economic and political relations are as …
Austerity
The 2008 global economic crisis paved the way for the construction of a new, elite-driven, capital-centric, shrunken welfare state project founded on ideology disguised as pragmatism and objective ‘truths’. Today, welfare states exist in a context in which a new politics of austerity sets the parameters of the debate. Austerity incorporates the neoliberal desire to shrink the (social welfare) state, deregulate labour markets and emphasise private…
Deciphering the International Monetary Fund’s (IMFs) position on austerity
Back in 2009, at the height of the global financial crisis, the London G20 forum met and declared the Washington consensus dead. What emerged in its place was a contradictory and confusing array of narratives and international policy prescriptions for post-crisis recovery that owed as much to the past as the present. Divisions within and among International Governmental Organisations (IGOs) arose about how best to address the economic challenges,…

Social Policy in Times of Austerity
Austerity
This chapter argues that despite its currency within social policy debate, ‘austerity’ itself remains under-scrutinised and under-theorised and sets out what, if anything, is new about this ‘new age’. First it considers the question of timing, taking the 2007-8 global financial crisis as a starting point and setting out the pressures on welfare states created by this event and its aftermath. Second, it examines the ‘idea’ of austerity, contrastin…

Varieties of crisis, varieties of austerity
In the period since 2008 it has become clear that the financial collapse and its ensuing crises have affected countries differently. However, a new ‘austerity consensus’ appears to have developed which is threatening the welfare gains established since the 1930s. By considering in comparative perspective the extent of austerity measures and the ways in which the normalisation of the ‘new age’ is being resisted, this article reflects on whether we…
Social Policy in Challenging TimesEconomic Crisis and Welfare Systems
Bringing together a range of expert contributions, this book is the first to address the relationship between the economic crisis and social policy within an international context. The key lesson to emerge is that 'the crisis' is better understood as a variety of crises, each mediated by national context
Social policy in challenging times
Curious Cases
While the size of states and the significance of 'islandness' have been of mild interest within the comparative study of politics and economics, the theoretical frameworks that operate within contemporary comparative analyses of welfare and social policy rest upon a largely unremarked assumption that population size does not matter. Explanations of and predictions for the development of welfare relations are undertaken in the belief that it is th…
Policy reconsideredMeanings, politics and practices
This book identifies key topics in the policy arena, subjecting them to sustained theoretical and practical appraisal. It shows the advantage of applying a cross-disciplinary lens to the study of 'policy', presenting critical and reflective engagements with theory and practice at all levels of political organisation within a range of contexts

The Transformation of Welfare States? by Nick Ellison
Introduction
Social policy and the social sciences more generally, have tended to emphasise links, activities and processes occurring ‘within’ nation states to the neglect of those cutting across them. This ‘methodological nationalism’ is increasingly being questioned as transnational processes, be they ‘from above’ or ‘from below’, institutionalised or non-institutionalised, formal or informal, have become more significant over the last half century. The spr…

What Can Global Perspectives Contribute to Curriculum Development in Social Policy
This article argues the case for the integration of a global perspective within social policy as a means of enriching teaching and learning methods and experiences. We review the various ways in which such a perspective is currently integrated into social policy degrees and address some of the opportunities and challenges for teaching and learning that it involves. We consider current thinking on curriculum development, which, we contend, can fac…
Integrity of practice in lecturers' accounts of teaching decisions
This article draws on data collected during a funded research project on undergraduate teaching within a single discipline, social policy. Starting from observations drawn from analysis of the interview transcripts, the article develops the concept of ‘integrity of practice’ from the literature on reflective practice and the scholarship of teaching. Integrity of practice enables the lecturer to explain and justify decisions about teaching and lea…

When Less is More
This article explores the implications of expanding content in undergraduate Social Policy. Although the problem of curriculum content is not unique to Social Policy, particular features exacerbate the issue. These include the relationship of the subject to other disciplines, and to wider political and social issues. Dominance of content is argued to limit the aims of teaching, squeezing out skills development. It also restricts the methods emplo…
