Talking about active travel: Insights into a chameleonic concept from transport policy stakeholders in Greater Manchester
Active travel is an increasingly prominent area of mobility policy. Modal shift from cars and vans to walking, wheeling and cycling, has recognised benefits in relation to local air quality, climate change mitigation, health promotion and social inclusion; active travel sits within and across these agendas. There has been some debate over exactly what active travel is and what is included under its umbrella, with new micromobility and electricall…
How Do Those Who Have Served Deserve to Be Treated? Military Veterans in the U.K. Social Security System
Military service has often been a basis for civilian welfare entitlements. If mass wartime service justified collective provision, it is now suggested professional militaries have been co-opted to support reformed welfare models in which entitlement is increasingly conditional on individuals’ commitment, discipline, and responsibility. “Forces Covenants” which explicitly connect the dedication and contribution of service to state assistance, symb…
Benefits Conditionality in the United Kingdom: Is It Common, and Is It Perceived to Be Reasonable
Programme‐level data suggest that increasing numbers of claimants are subject to work‐related behavioural requirements in countries like the United Kingdom. Likewise, academic qualitative research has suggested that conditionality is pervasive within the benefits system, and is often felt to be unreasonable. However, there is little quantitative evidence on the extent or experience of conditionality from claimants' perspectives. We fill this gap …
Building relationships of trust? The experiences of military veterans claiming ‘interface first’ Universal Credit
Trust is a central consideration when understanding the administration of social security benefits and interactions between the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) and claimants, which is increasingly digitalised. While this can have administrative advantages for the DWP and some claimants, less is known about how this digital shift impacts on the relationship between the DWP and claimants within the context of the DWP’s commitments to restore…
Claiming deservingness: The durability of social security claimant discourses during the Covid-19 pandemic
The Covid-19 pandemic created extraordinary conditions for social protection systems globally, with both material and discursive implications. In the UK, these unprecedented circumstances led to an influx of (first-time) social security claims, expectations of increased social solidarity and more positive public discussion around benefits. One might expect this to affect attitudes towards claiming. This article focuses on the accounts of claimant…
Income Insecurity and the Relational Coping Strategies of Low-Income Households in the UK
Changes in the labour market, high rates of working age poverty, major welfare reforms and more recently the Covid-19 pandemic have drawn renewed attention to income security. Existing research has identified the important role of relational support in helping people cope with low income, but less is known about the role of support for those coping with the potentially destabilising effects of income change which can affect people over relatively…
Barriers and enablers to influenza vaccination uptake in adults with chronic respiratory conditions: Applying the behaviour change wheel to specify multi-levelled tailored intervention content
OBJECTIVE: To specify intervention content to enhance influenza vaccination uptake among adults with chronic respiratory conditions using the Behaviour Change Wheel (BCW). DESIGN: Cross-sectional, multi-modal data collection and theory-informed analysis and expert stakeholder engagement. METHODS: Content analysis was used to identify barriers and enablers to influenza vaccination from nine focus groups (n = 38), individual interviews (n = 21) and…
Welfare attitudes in a crisis: How Covid exceptionalism undermined greater solidarity
COVID-19 had the potential to dramatically increase public support for welfare. It was a time of apparent increased solidarity, of apparently deserving claimants, and of increasingly widespread exposure to the benefits system. However, there are also reasons to expect the opposite effect: an increase in financial strain fostering austerity and self-interest, and thermostatic responses to increasing welfare generosity. In this paper, we investigat…
Maximising the health impacts of free advice services in the UK: A mixed methods systematic review
Mediating the claim? How ‘local ecosystems of support’ shape the operation and experience of UK social security
Local state and third sector actors routinely provide support to help people navigate their right to social security and mediate their chequered relationship to it. COVID‐19 has not only underlined the significance of these actors in the claims‐making process, but also just how vulnerable those working within ‘local ecosystems of support’ are to external shocks and their own internal pressures. Drawing on qualitative fieldwork with organisations …
Universal simplicity? The alleged simplicity of Universal Credit from administrative and claimant perspectives
A key aim of Universal Credit is to simplify the social security system. While several aspects of its introduction have received critical attention, this overarching aim continues to receive acceptance and support. Drawing on two empirical studies involving means-tested benefit claimants, we aim to deconstruct the idea of ‘simplicity’ as a feature of social security design and argue that it is contingent on perspective. We suggest that claims of …

An Actor-Network Theory Analysis of Policy Innovation for Smoke-Free Places: Understanding Change in Complex Systems
Complex, transnational issues like the tobacco epidemic are major challenges that defy analysis and management by conventional methods, as are other public health issues, such as those associated with global food distribution and climate change. We examined the evolution of indoor smoke-free regulations, a tobacco control policy innovation, and identified the key attributes of those jurisdictions that successfully pursued this innovation and thos…
The Tobacco Use Management System: Analyzing Tobacco Control From a Systems Perspective
We use systems thinking to develop a strategic framework for analyzing the tobacco problem and we suggest solutions. Humans are vulnerable to nicotine addiction, and the most marketable form of nicotine delivery is the most harmful. A tobacco use management system has evolved out of governments’ attempts to regulate tobacco marketing and use and to support services that provide information about tobacco's harms and discourage its use. Our analysi…
David young: Producing uncertainty
Composer David Young is artistic director of the Melbourne-based company Aphids; in 2004, Aphids celebrated ten years of cross-artform collaborations. Cynthia Troup speaks with Young about context, transformation, and collaboration. Young reflects on ways in which the history of Aphids has been shaped by his own ambivalence towards notions of tradition, and towards the priority of an inherited approach to composing and performance. ‘Context’ is t…
Ethno-Racial Minorities and the Juno Awards
The CBC and the Juno Awards
Through a case study of the Juno Awards, this article attempts to enhance what is known about the crisis facing the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC). The CBC worked with the Canadian Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences (CARAS) on the annual ceremony for the Canadian music industry from the mid-1970s to 2001. An analysis of this time frame gives rise to three arguments about the CBC and the Juno Awards. First, as applied to the Junos, th…
The promotional state and Canada's Juno Awards
The scholarly literature on popular music has rarely addressed music awards shows and the role of the state with regard to popular music. In an effort to deepen what is known about both sets of issues, this article utilises the concept of a promotional state to examine Canada's Juno Awards. A promotional state employs state intervention to support domestic popular music, and the promotional state in Canada has been connected to the Junos in three…
Discourses on Communication Technologies in Canadian and European Broadcasting Policy Debates
There have been growing similarities between broadcasting issues in Canada and Europe. Some issues, including the emergence of private broadcasting and concerns about American broadcasting, became prominent in Europe decades after they were evident in Canada. In both contexts, historical and contemporary debates about broadcasting issues have been tied to three discourses on communication technologies. This article contends that broadcasting poli…
Céline Dion, national unity and the English-language press in Canada
The national unity crisis in Canada deepened during the 1990s; it became increasingly likely that the French-speaking province of Quebec might separate from the rest of the country. This article examines how press coverage of Céline Dion, the popular francophone singer from Quebec, has intersected with the national unity debate. After providing some background on the debate and Dion, the article explores the linkages between them in Canada's Engl…
An approach to improved housing delivery in large cities of less developed countries
The dilemma posed by minority medical traditions in pluralistic societies: The case of China and Canada
Pluralistic societies such as China and Canada frequently find themselves pursuing potentially contradictory goals. China's contradiction results from a desire to preserve cultural diversity while eliminating 'backward tendencies' which work against the economic and social development of the country as a whole. Canada's contradiction results from a desire to preserve cultural diversity while maintaining an emphasis upon equality of rights and res…
