Elusive equalities and the Great Recession
The 2008 global financial meltdown, commonly called the ‘Great Recession’, was the most serious crisis in capitalism since the Great Depression of the 1930s, and a fundamental repudiation of neoliberal governing assumptions. This paper focuses on the contexts that informed two governmental responses to this economic crisis — restoration and retrenchment through public austerity. It explains that these responses were contingent, experimental, ineq…

We are all equal now
This article examines the Canadian case, focusing on the ways in which the political rationalities that have informed the Canadian variants of post-war social liberalism and neoliberalism have opened and then closed spaces for the articulation and institutionalization of gender-based equality claims-making. The article recounts how the Canadian welfare state underwrote a unique gender equality infrastructure inside the state and a thick field of …
The New Social “isms”
This chapter focuses on what I have termed the "new social-isms," and the ways in which these popular conceptual frames embed neoliberal political rationalities in social policy reform and citizenship practices in Canada. This term flags the many and different appeals to the "social" that have been interwoven into political rhetoric, social policy thinking, and policy performances in the past decade, among them social cohesion, social exclusion/i…
Reforming Social Justice in Neoliberal Times
This article unfolds in three stages. First, it locates the emergence of modern conceptions of social justice in industrializing Europe, and especially in the discovery of the "social," which provided a particular idiom for the liberal democratic politics for most of the twentieth century. Second, the article links this particular conception of the social to the political rationalities of the postwar welfare state and the identity of the social c…
Introduction
Globalization, In/Security, and the Paradoxes of the Social
The concept of the social draws together many of the core themes of this collection, especially human insecurity, the diminished provision of public goods, and the sustainability of social reproduction in an era of intensifying globalization.1 Globalization is a contested term perhaps best understood as a set of interactions whose uncertain parameters are, in many respects, historically unique and still unfolding. At a minimum, the many dimension…
The Great Undoing
Citizenship and Solidarity
Numerous accounts of contemporary liberal democratic citizenship focus on the introduction and subsequent erosion of social citizenship rights through neo-liberal governing practices. These studies demonstrate that the progressive erosion of social entitlements and social policies has aggravated poverty, economic insecurity, and social exclusion, especially among already marginalized groups and those with tenuous links to the wage economy. Less a…
Meso‐discourses, state forms and the gendering of liberal‐democratic citizenship
This article builds upon Michel Foucault's fleeting observation that 'the state consists in the codification of a whole number of power relations' and that 'a revolution is a different type of codification of these same relations' (Held et al., 1983, pp. 312–3). Specifically, the article uses the case of Canada to argue that distinct state forms rest on particular meso‐discourses which inform a logic of governance, historical configurations of th…

The Politics of Abortion
The ‘Free Trade’ Election
From the beginning of the 1988 federal campaign, media pundits and political scientists alike proclaimed that this election was unique in Canadian electoral history. The only possible historical parallel is the 1911 election when Laurier's Liberals and their partial free-trade package were so roundly rejected everywhere except in the West
