Social Policy: Now and Then
This article explores the way aspects of our approach to social policy in the UK have changed over the last 40 years – one academic lifetime and also, coincidentally, the lifetime of this journal – and the significance of six particular changes. More social problems have come to be seen as having a supra‐national dimension: the scale and ramifications of problems are much better appreciated; the accepted territory of social policy has greatly wid…

Globalisation and Human Welfare
Globalization, the State and Human Welfare
Welfare states are experiments in politics, in the exercise of state power to manage the economy and to establish a range of services to meet social needs. The economic and political capacity of the state are, therefore, central to the success of the welfare state project. The impact of globalization on state capacity is an important area of enquiry because of the significance of state capacity to the promotion of human welfare. In this chapter, …

Social Policy in Hong Kong
Social Policy and Social Development in Hong Kong
Hong Kong is often portrayed as the epitome of a free market economy dominated by an ideology of laissez-faire. This paper explores the development of social policy in Hong Kong and the factors which have shaped that development. It shows that the Hong Kong government plays a major role in promoting social development in the territory and that state involvment is the product of a complex interaction of political, social, and economic forces.
Globalization, Regionalism and Social Policy
This paper explores the implications of globalization for social policy, and teases out those elements of globalization which have impinged most on it. Then it explores the most important ways in which globalization has had an effect on social policy. Seven issues are explored—the way in which globalization has highlighted and/or created new problems, its contribution to hollowing out the state, the way in which it has altered the balance of powe…
The Welfare State and the Conservatives
Maintaining Quality in Human Services
In the 1980s there was a new emphasis on the achievement of clear standards of Quality in public services in Britain. This has been accompanied by a wide ranging discussion of how Quality is most effectively promoted and maintained. This paper begins by setting out the key elements of a Quality service — accessibility, acceptability, effectiveness and openness. It then analyses and evaluates four elements in the maintenance of Quality. First it e…

In this article, we attempt an explanation of what we call the corrup tion of care, We set out eight propositions about systems and patter…
Social Policy in the 1980s: An Essay on Academic Evolution
The British Welfare State: Thatcherism’s enduring legacy
The 1980s were the decade of Thatcherism. They were years when major changes were made, and attempted, in public and social policies. They were also years dominated by the ideology to which Mrs Thatcher gave her name. This paper is an exercise in analysis and prophecy. It attempts to anticipate the probable enduring impact of Thatcherism on the British welfare state and foresees ten enduring legacies

Social Values and Social Policy
Social values are clearly an important influence on the development and administration of social policies. In discussions about social values, however, different political groupings use the same words but with different meanings. This article compares and contrasts 'ideal-type' liberal and socialist conceptions of the three social values of freedom, individualism and equality. It then goes on to discuss how far social policy reflects these differ…
