Legitimacy in 21st-Century Polylateralism
This study presents an empirically based analysis of legitimacy aspects of polylateral governance across three global health funds: Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance; Global Fund to Fight Against AIDS , Tuberculosis and Malaria; and the Global Financing Facility for Women, Children and Adolescents. Adopting a normative approach to legitimacy, we ask how these global health funds fare against key legitimacy principles in global governance, as expressed i…

The camp as market frontier
This article critically interrogates the ambitions of humanitarians, policymakers, and their corporate partners to fundamentally remake both camp economies and the refugees who inhabit them. It draws on a unique set of elite interviews with key actors from a network of organisations driving ‘innovative’ humanitarian projects in the Kakuma camp and Kalobeyei settlement in Kenya. We identify their shared spatial imaginaries which, first, reconfigur…
Tracing the institutional barriers to the integration of the social protection and fragile states agendas within the World Bank
The share of the extreme poor living in fragile and conflict-affected situations is projected to rise above 50 per cent by 2030. There is consequently an acute need for poverty-reduction mechanisms such as social protection within these contexts, which requires the integration of the discourse and policies on fragility with those on social protection. This paper traces the development of the two agendas in the World Bank, through documentary anal…
A multi-level, multi-jurisdictional strategy
Despite the extensive literature on the tobacco industry, there has been little attempt to study how transnational tobacco companies (TTCs) coordinate their political activities globally, or to theorise TTC strategies within the context of global governance structures and policy processes. This article draws on three concepts from political science - policy transfer, multi-level governance and venue shifting - to analyse TTCs' integrated, global …
Nostalgia narratives? Pejorative attitudes to welfare in historical perspective
Jensen and Tyler (2015) have powerfully argued that 'anti-welfare commonsense', fuelled by negative political and media discourse stressing welfare dependency and deception, has buttressed support for social security reform in recent years. Along with many other academics they point to the hardening of public attitudes towards welfare state provision and how notions of the 'deserving' and 'undeserving poor' have been reintroduced into popular deb…
Exploring Public Attitudes to Welfare over the Longue Durée
It is commonly argued that public support for the welfare state is in long‐term decline in the UK. Evidence from the British Social Attitudes Survey (BSA) is typically cited to support this claim, but it only stretches back to 1983. Few would disagree that the Thatcher years offered an unusual socio‐political‐economic context, which raises a question over whether the BSA's early 1980s baseline provides a misleading view on support for the welfare…
