No man's land
Border thinking is a de-colonial strategy that interrogates epistemic and biopolitical aspects of borders, and examines everyday bordering practices. Harrington and Hampton (2024) have recently argued for its utility for understanding national borders in health law. While border thinking has been traditionally used to interrogate national and geographical boundaries, I propose that border thinking can also be productive for understanding jurisdic…
Resource allocation systems
Background: the aims of resource allocation systems Resource allocations systems (RASs) are computer algorithms used by local authorities to produce an ‘indicative amount’ for a personal budget, which service users and care practitioners may use to start planning their support. Most RASs work by allocating a point score to a person’s responses on a needs questionnaire, and then converting that – using some algorithm – to a cash value. Some simpli…
Law and Rhetoric
What contribution can rhetoric make to socio-legal studies? Though now a byword for deception and spin, rhetoric was long identified with the very substance of law and politics. Latterly radical scholars have foregrounded an understanding of law as rhetoric in their polemics against legal formalism, but it needs to be complemented by a critical perspective which goes beyond simple revivalism, taking account of rhetoric's own blind spots, inquirin…

Putting the cart before the horse
The English Care Bill provides for all eligible community care service users to have a personal budget – and councils were required to ensure that 70% of such users had one by April 2013. Almost all English authorities are experimenting with Resource Allocation Systems (RASs) as a way of calculating these budgets. This paper describes and critically analyses the nature of the RASs being used and the increasing body of case law they are attracting…
