Social policies and social control: New perspectives on the 'not-so-big society'
Social Policies and Social Control: New perspectives on the ‘not-so-big society’
Drawing on a wide array of policy domains and events, this book provides an innovative account of social control and behaviourism within welfare systems and social policies, and the implications for disadvantaged groups. This accessible collection reviews the controls, assumptions and persuasions applied to individuals and households and explores broader themes, including how 'new behaviourism' was consolidated during the New Labour and Cameron p…

Social Policies and Social Control: New Perspectives on the 'Not-So-Big Society
Towards Intercultural Engagement: Building Shared Visions of Neighbourhood and Community in an Era of New Migration
Concerns about the consequences of new migration for good community relations have brought calls for bridge-building between apparently disconnected groups through greater social contact, intercultural dialogue and co-operation at the local scale. Although several initiatives have sought to build stronger relations between new and settled groups in the UK, we know relatively little about the impact of these encounters on those involved or their e…
Race’, Deprivation and the Research Agenda: Revisiting Housing, Ethnicity and Neighbourhoods
Building on a general account of recent changes and on local case study material, this paper develops an overview of contemporary issues in the interconnected research domains of UK ethnic relations, disadvantage and housing neighbourhoods. It aims to contribute to some rethinking of ethnic disadvantage and discrimination within analytical frameworks, while looking towards more defensible research strategies. Matters referred to in our overview o…

Constructing an Integrated Society: Historical Lessons for Tackling Black and Minority Ethnic Housing Segregation in Britain
Persistent segregation in deprived inner areas of British cities can be seen as both a symptom and a cause of ethnic inequalities, and as an indicator of the failure of minority ethnic groups to integrate into wider society. This paper takes an historical perspective, tracing shifting emphases of political discourses and policy approaches to minority ethnic residential segregation and inclusion, and setting these alongside broader understandings …

Housing Policy in the Uk ‐ by David Mullins and Alan Murie
Defining housing quality and environment: Disability, standards and social factors
This paper considers quality standards and meanings of housing environments while discussing disability and housing. It challenges assumptions about the importance of physical housing quality, and suggests caution about the benefits of raising physical standards. After a brief introduction, comments are made on contemporary issues concerning standards, past difficulties arising from professional power and political priorities, and problems in pro…
Social Welfare Movements and Collective Action: Lessons from Two UK Housing Cases
This paper draws on studies of the black minority ethnic voluntary housing movement and of squatters to develop some perspectives on the aims, characteristics and interpretation of 'social welfare movements' in the period since 1960. While much has been written on so-called 'new social movements' in Europe and North America, connections remain underdeveloped between social movement theories and collective action in specific UK policy fields. At t…

Positive Action, Particularism, and Practice
This article provides an analysis of conceptual and operational issues surrounding 'race'related positive action strategies in Britain and connects these with broader concerns about difference and universality. Two case studies - of developments in housing and in media representation - are examined to asses the extent, nature and impact of positive action strategies. Here limited success of 'old-style' positive action is shown in relation to prog…

Theorising Exclusion and Difference: Specificity, Structure and Minority Ethnic Housing Issues
This paper explores the balance between experiential diversity on the one hand, and structural factors on the other. Drawing examples primarily from 'race' and housing, the paper indicates that 'difference' is inevitably conceptualised and constructed at more than one level. There is diversification of cultures, preferences and experiences at household level, yet institutions remain crucial at other levels for any discussion of processes of exclu…
Minority ethnic housing associations and local housing strategies: An uncertain future
This paper discusses future prospects for minority ethnic housing associations in the context of local housing strategies. It takes account of some major developments in Housing Corporation policy which took place towards the end of the period of Conservative government, and considers the impact of the election of the new Labour government. The change of government provides an appropriate moment at which to draw attention to the positive achievem…
Needs and Empowerment in Minority Ethnic Housing: Some Issuesof Definition and Local Strategy
Universalised concepts of housing needs and solutions are difficult to sustain in a context of ethnic diversity. On the other hand it is not easy for policy makers to find straightforward substitutes that can be operationalised. Some governmental agencies may be moving towards strategies of ‘ethnic managerialism’ which acknowledge differentiation, but this is not without its dangers. Drawing on research on minority ethnic housing circumstances in…
The Black Voluntary Housing Movement: Pioneering pluralistic social policy in a difficult climate
Black-led housing organisations and the housing association movement
This article discusses the development and contributions of the black voluntary housing movement in the context of a broader review of trends within the housing association field. Material is drawn from a completed north of England study of black and minority ethnic housing organisations, and from research in hand on the responses of mainstream housing associations to minority ethnic needs. Particular attention is given to the role of mainstream …
Citizenship, Consumption and Rights: A Comment on B. S. Turner's Theory of Citizenship
This paper suggests amendments to the outline of the theory of citizenship recently offered by Turner. In particular, five issues are noted: the necessity of disentangling the normative and the material; the need to recognise the significance of the differential character of experiences of citizenship; the desirability of placing differential experiences within a context which acknowledges class and intra-class divisions, incorporation and exclus…
Local authorities and black‐led housing associations
Welfare State struggles, consumption, and the politics of rights
Arguing for a fresh approach to the welfare state which focuses on the politics of consumption and the rights of consumers, the author contends that the management of consumption and household welfare creates potential communities of interest capable of forming bases for collective action and resistance

British Town Planning Ideology and the Welfare State
This paper relates the nature of planning thought to the administrative and legal context, and to possible welfare objectives. The question is raised as to whether town planners have become concerned with specific social benefits. An analysis of the preoccupations of planners is made, using data available in Royal Town Planning Institute literature. From branch meetings data, conclusions are drawn as to changing areas of interest. It is noted tha…

Hypotheses are put forward about the operating principles of major private-sector institutions, and the consequences of their policies in urban areas are illustrated by a discussion of the building societies. Some specific points are noted from studies of building society activity in Leeds. It is then argued that there may be a potential conflict between principles of equal opportunity now being accorded increasing recognition by governments and …
