The Evolution of Economics at the University of Oxford: Gendered Constructions of Legitimate Economic Knowledge and Authorities
As evidence of women’s exclusion from economic study emerges, interrogation of the discipline is crucial. While feminist scholars have extensively examined the barriers women face in contemporary economics, less attention has been given to the historical evolution of the field and its disciplinary formation. Drawing on primary sources related to the University of Oxford’s Philosophy, Politics and Economics (PPE) degree, this article aims to addre…
Managing Municipal Austerity: Mitigation of Social Risks
The overarching objective of this article is to stimulate debate about how local authorities could and should manage their austerity measures because the speed, scale and aggregation of the UK public spending cuts risk adversely affecting already disadvantaged and vulnerable groups, exacerbating social exclusion and leading to higher costs for councils in the future. It presents the results of research conducted during 2011–2012 focusing on if an…
Public sector risk managers and spending cuts: Mitigating risks
This paper reports case study research, the results of which are used to consider whether councils have recognised the potentially substantially increased social risks they may create as they seek to reduce their spending in line with the UK Government’s programme of public sector austerity. It discusses the conceptual shift in the public sector risk management literature towards social risk management (SRM), presents empirical evidence of social…
Modern Concepts of Quality and Risk: Challenges for the Regulation of Care for Older People in Scotland
This article is about the complex interplay between quality and risk in the context of care for older people in Scotland. We review relevant theoretical literature underpinning the concept of ‘quality’ and its relationship with ‘risk’ to discover a wide range of regulatory challenges related to issues such as an increasing number of older people; intense press scrutiny; private care home provision; and, healthcare professionals increasingly shift…
Low-cost Insurance Schemes in Scottish Social Housing: An Empirical Study of Availability and Tenants' Participation
The UK has had a long history of market provision of household insurance. Recent years, however, have seen a decline in the traditional insurance market distribution channels aimed at low-income and/or rented-sector households. The products, pricing and method of payment currently offered by insurers have exacerbated the exclusion of many in social housing from this important financial services product. Research suggests that only 50 per cent of …
Private sector participation in health and social care services in Scotland: Assessing the risk
The UK Government faces increased pressure to provide health and social care services more cheaply yet at a high level of quality. Increased private sector involvement in the funding and delivery of services is seen as a major part of the solution. When assessing the relative merits of approaches to private versus public sector provision, risk may be an important differentiator. This article explores some key points of comparison on risk issues a…
