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…

It elaborates an expanded analytical framework of financial capability to investigate the effects of remitting on the financial capabilities of the senders of remittances. The data presented draw on the findings of a survey ( n = 347) and semi-structured interviews ( n = 23) conducted with Z…
Global Social Policy at 25 years
Thinking afresh
Understanding Global Social Policy
As a field of study, global social policy has grown in strength and remit since the late 1990s and offers a fresh set of perspectives on contemporary debates within social policy. This book is the first student-aimed textbook that engages comprehensively with this field of study, examining the key theoretical, conceptual and policy issues and debates. Edited by a leading scholar in global social policy, and with chapter contributions from an inte…
Southern social world-regionalisms
This article presents key results from a comparative qualitative Social Policy study of nine African regional economic communities’ (RECs) regional health policies. The article asks to what extent has health been incorporated into RECs’ public policy functions and actions, and what similarities and differences are evident among the RECs. Utilising a World Health Organization (WHO) framework for conceptualising health systems, the research evidenc…
Mobilising regional social governance and policy for the SDGs
The financialisation of transnational family care
Transnational families occupy centre-stage in literatures on transformations in the social organisation and relations of care and welfare because they express how social bonds are sustained despite geographical separation. This paper examines some key themes arising from a research study into remittance-sending practices of UK-based Ghanaians and Nigerians in the light of research literatures on transnational family care and development finance. …
International healthcare worker migration in Asia Pacific
The growth of the international migration of health workers in recent decades has taken place in the context of the transnationalisation of healthcare provision as well as of governance and policy responses. This paper examines international policy responses to cross‐border health worker migration in the Asia Pacific region. These include multilateral (global and regional) and bilateral policy agreements, policy dialogue and programmes of action …
On the Transnational Dialectics of Solidarity and Care
The urgency to global political life that Shirin Rai points to in the lead article of this Forum is one that is, in major part, borne of a global crisis of social reproduction. This crisis is less immediately visible than the rise of terrorism, right-wing nationalism, or military conflict, but no less harmful, violent or deadly in its effects. Where the basic means for reproducing and sustaining labor power are so severely compromised as to under…
Introduction – Managing Welfare Expectations and Social Change
The question whether Asian welfare types can be classified as distinctly ‘productivist’ has remained subject to lively debates: in East Asia, the recent implementation of social rights‐based public policy innovations – including working family support – as a response to rising inequalities, welfare expectations and accelerating social change has been well documented; similarly, South East Asian and South Asian economies have featured much more fr…
Locating regional health policy
Poverty reduction and health became central in the agendas of Southern regional organisations in the last two decades. Yet, little is known about how these organisations address poverty, inclusion and social inequality, and how Southern regional formations are engaging in power constellations, institutions, processes, interests and ideological positions within different spheres of governance. This article reviews academic literatures spanning glo…

Understanding Global Social Policy
The Socialization of Regionalism and the Regionalization of Social Policy
This chapter revisits Bob Deacon’s ‘socialization of globalization’ and the ‘globalization of social policy’ thesis (Deacon, 1995, 2007; Deacon and Hulse, 1996; Deacon with Hulse and Stubbs, 1997). His argument that the locus of contestation around the social politics of globalization has shifted from national policymaking arenas to spheres of cross-border governance and that a new global political agenda with a substantial social content has eme…
International governmental organisations and global youth unemployment
This article compares policy discourses concerning youth unemployment of seven international governmental organisations (IGOs). We classify the discourses according to broadly neoliberal and social democratic positions across labour market and social welfare domains, regarding causes of and responses to youth unemployment. We relate evidence of hybrids and shifts in IGOs’ discourses to wider institutional contexts of global social policy and to d…
Business, as usual
This article undertakes a detailed analysis of the formative role of the World Bank in the framing of youth unemployment. It charts the World Bank's emergence as a powerful political actor in this policy field and identifies the ideational content of its policy discourses on the causes of youth unemployment and responses to it. Four principal themes are identified: skills deficits; wage regulation; the “demographication” of explanations for burge…
Global care chains
This article provides a state‐of‐the‐art review and sympathetic critique of global care chain (GCC) analysis, focusing on its contributions to a sustained research agenda on care transnationalization. GCC analysis has opened up theoretical perspectives and discursive spaces for the sophisticated understandings of globalization processes. Rooted in global network methodology and cognizant of the grounded, textured and embodied nature of care trans…
The Irish Catholic Female Religious and the Transnationalisation of Care
The transnational turn in sociological studies of care and welfare is generating new research agendas focused on the circulation and hybridisation of social ideas, values, practices, resources, relations and provision across political borders. This article examines neglected aspects within care transnationalisation research by focusing on the involvement of the Irish Catholic female religious from a historical perspective. Successive histories of…
Going Global
This article critically examines the contours of 'care transnationalization' as an ongoing social process and a field of enquiry. Care transnationalization scholarship combines structural understandings of global power relations with an emphasis on social interactions between defined actors in ways that keep sight of human agency, material welfare and wider social development. It has, however, tended to privilege particular forms, dynamics and si…
The Peter Townsend reader
Introduction
The global social policy reader
The Global Social Policy Reader collects together for the first time a comprehensive range of key papers by international leaders in the field, from a wide range of sources that explain the concepts, actors and processes that constitute global social policy. It covers the emergence of global social policy as a dynamic and expanding field of study and practice, the transformation of welfare from a predominantly national to a global field of action…
Globalization and Social Policy
This book critically evaluates the relevance and implications of globalisation in relation to both the academic study of social policy and social welfare provision. It: examines the implications of globalisation for social policy analysis and provision; analyses how social policies and politics contribute to and shape globalising strategiees; argues that the degree to which globalisation gives rise to systematic changes in the funding, regulation…

Global Care Chains
This article critically examines the utility of the 'global care chain' concept and considers various modifications required to that concept in order to render it a major generative force in feminist and non-feminist research. By way of progressing this research agenda, the discussion critically evaluates the possibilities and limitations of a more rigorous application of global commodity chain analysis, from which the global care chain concept i…
A Global Political Economy of Care
Care is an important analytical concept in social policy because of what its social organisation reveals about social formations and the nature of welfare states. To date, social policy analyses of care have focused on the social (re)organisation of care within nation states, which are largely treated as 'sealed' entities. Consequently these analyses neglect to examine the impact of transnational processes on the socio-organisational shifts obser…
Globalization and Social Policy
Many accounts of globalization and social policy accept the `strong' globalization thesis in emphasizing the naturalistic, inevitable nature of globalization, the external constraints imposed on governments by international markets and international governmental organizations and the limitations placed on international and domestic politics and social policies. This article argues that a less `defeatist' and more fruitful way of analysing the rel…
A Dialogue with 'Global Care Chain' Analysis
This article examines the relationship between globalization, care and migration, with specific reference to the 'global care chain' concept. The utility of this concept is explored in the light of its current and potential contributions to research on the international division of reproductive labour and transnational care economies. The article asserts the validity of global care chain analysis but argues that its present application to migrant…
Production for export
In its focus on different forms of public and private agency within the global (care) economy, global care chains (GCC) analysis has tended to neglect the role of the state in the development of GCCs. Through a focus on GCCs involving nurses – global nursing care chains (GNCCs) – this article aims to contribute to bridging that analytical deficit. It argues that state strategies to develop an export industry in healthcare labour constitute a majo…

Social Politics and Policy in an Era of Globalization
This paper critically examines the ways in which social policy is said to be affected by globalization. The prevailing approach has been framed in terms of the impact of “external” economic forces on national welfare states. Globalization is said to undermine the economic and political conditions on which welfare states were built, erode national policy autonomy and force the marketization and residualization of welfare states. These predictions …

Introduction
Social policy and the social sciences more generally, have tended to emphasise links, activities and processes occurring ‘within’ nation states to the neglect of those cutting across them. This ‘methodological nationalism’ is increasingly being questioned as transnational processes, be they ‘from above’ or ‘from below’, institutionalised or non-institutionalised, formal or informal, have become more significant over the last half century. The spr…
What Can Global Perspectives Contribute to Curriculum Development in Social Policy
This article argues the case for the integration of a global perspective within social policy as a means of enriching teaching and learning methods and experiences. We review the various ways in which such a perspective is currently integrated into social policy degrees and address some of the opportunities and challenges for teaching and learning that it involves. We consider current thinking on curriculum development, which, we contend, can fac…
The General Agreement on Trade in Services (Gats)
This article explores the implications of the World Trade Organization's General Agreement on Trade in Services (GATS) for social security. It examines what bearing the GATS has, or will have, on social security policy and administration and what the effects might be. These questions are explored through a review of legal, political and policy issues relating to the status of social security within the GATS and the consequences of applying the Ag…
