Decolonising community education and development
Two classic texts
Community
“Community” is an important, long‐standing, and contested sociological concept. It is one of the central concepts of both classical and contemporary sociology. This entry provides a brief overview of the concept of community within both these traditions, within sociological research in general, and within political discourse and social policy

A Third Wave, Not a Third Way? New Labour, Human Rights and Mental Health in Historical Context
This historically situated, UK-based review of New Labour's human rights and mental health policy following the 1998 Human Rights Act (HRA) and 2007 Mental Health Act (MHA), draws on Klug's identification of three waves of human rights. These occurred around the American and French Revolutions, after World War II, and following the collapse of state communism in 1989, and the article assesses impacts on mental health policy up to and including th…
The capabilities approach and critical social policy
The capabilities approach (CA) most closely associated with the thinner and thicker versions of Sen and Nussbaum has the potential to provide a paradigm shift for critical social policy, encompassing but also transcending some of the limitations associated with the Marshallian social citizenship approach. The article argues, however, that it cannot simply be imported from the majority world, rather there is a need to bear in mind the critical lit…
On the Edge
The fate of the Greek National Health System (esy) of 1983 is analyzed by placing its development within a dynamic account of the interaction between national policy processes, international pressures from above and mobilizations from below. While Greece, despite limited economic development, laid the foundations for a health system by the end of the interwar period, rightist Greek governments, propped up by the usa, failed to build on this in fa…
It's a small world
Much sociological theorising about community care in mental health universalises from Anglo-American contexts. So do assessments of policy shifts towards deinstitutionalisation, whose tendency towards negativity largely reflects the downsized mental health care systems that have emerged in welfare regimes, strongly influenced by neoliberal political ideology. Drawing on the framework of Esping-Anderson (1990), the article seeks to theorise from a…

Left Orthodoxy and the Politics of Health
I conceive of a millenium on earth-a millenium not of riches, nor of mechanical facilities, nor of intellectual facilities, nor absolutely of immunity from disease, nor absolutely of immunity from pain, but a time when men and women all over the earth shall ascend and enter into relation with their bodies-shall attain freedom and joy.'
