As a set of global social policy aspirations the SDGs are the first global social policy.

Toward a Transformative Global Social Policy?
When an event was organized for me on 10 July 2014 to mark my retirement from academic life, not just from Sheffield University from where I had retired some years earlier, I was overwhelmed to be presented with a bound copy of drafts of all the chapters, except mine, which now make up this book. My insistence that I was retiring completely from academic life to take up a new life of engagement with the transition politics of my adopted town of H…
Career, charisma, conviction and the challenges facing the Social Protection Floor
Global Social Policy in the Making
This book, by the world’s leading authority on global social policy, examines why and how the Social Protection Floor became ILO, UN and G20 policy and how the World Bank and IMF took steps to lay its foundation.
Global social policy in the making
Regions without borders? Regional governance, migration, and social protection in Africa and Europe
In many respects, Europe and Africa (particularly Southern Africa) represent two opposing examples in the study of intra-regional migration and social cohesion. The European Union (EU) has been a global pioneer in allowing freedom of movement and portability of social rights across member states. A centerpiece of the EU integration process has been the progressive establishment of a common market, in which goods, services, capital, and people can…
The social protection floor and global social governance
This article addresses the influence of the I nternational L abour O rganization ( ILO ) on other international organizations and global agencies which resulted in their endorsement of the S ocial P rotection F loor ( SFP ) concept. By 2012 the concept had been endorsed by the U nited N ations in the shape of the UN C hief E xecutives B oard's SPF ‐Initiative, the W orld B ank in its new S ocial P rotection and L abor S trategy and by the G 20 at…
Global social policy studies
This article reviews the conceptual and analytical contribution of one strand of 'global social policy studies' since the mid-1990s. It outlines some of the strengths and weaknesses of the core conceptual basis of the approach acknowledging that the theoretical aspects have remained more implicit than explicit in many core texts. The article advances the case for using the 'Agency, Structure, Institution and Discourse' (ASID) approach as a framew…
Global Social Policy
The global politics of poverty alleviation in the context of a multiple crises
From the global politics of poverty alleviation to the global politics of social solidarity
This article argues that the important role of the middle class in helping to expand state responsibility for social welfare and a minimum standard of living has been long forgotten, particularly so when it comes to the analysis of how to address ongoing problems of poverty and inequality in the developing world. In light of the global recession and the predicted failure to achieve most of the Millennium Development Goals, this article makes the …
World-regional social policy and global governance
This volume explores the case for and the prospects of the development of world-regional social policies as integral elements of a pluralistic, equitable and effective system of global governance. Focusing on transnational regionalism, this book examines the trajectory and crossing over of the three strands of scholarly analysis within the past decade which have given rise to this volume: the perceived negative impact of neo-liberal globalisation…

From ‘Safety Nets’ Back to ‘Universal Social Provision’
This short article draws upon a number of recent reports from several international organizations to argue the case that, at least at the level of discourse, the tide has turned from the period in the 1990s when a targeted and means tested safety net future for welfare policy especially in the context of development was being constructed. Now even within the World Bank there is some evidence that the case for a universal approach to social welfar…

Social policy influence of the EU and other global actors
This article examines the impact of the European Union's (EU) external dimension of social policy both in terms of discourse and practice and compares it with the social policy advisory activities of other global actors: the World Bank and the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP). The article evaluates how far the EU's external dimension of social policy is impacting on the social reform process in a new EU Member State, Lithuania.1Lithuan…

This article demonstrates that the making of post-communist social policy in Eastern Europe and parts of the former Soviet Union is being influenced by a number of international agencies. The implicit and explicit social policy advice being offered by the European Union, the Council of Europe, the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development and the World Bank, to the countries of the region, is described and evaluated.

International Actors and Social Policy Development in Bosnia-Herzegovina
This article outlines the current development of aspects of social policy in Bosnia- Herzegovina, paying particular attention to the roles of diverse international actors. Bosnia-Herzegovina is seen as an example of a 'new feudalist' social formation in which the common citizenship model of 'normal' welfare regimes does not apply as a result of: (a) sepa ratist ethnicized claims and loyalties and (b) the fragmentation and multiplication of pol it…

Social Administration, Social Policy and Socialism
This paper develops from the marxist critique of social policy under capitalism a speculative picture of socialist social policy. It draws its ideas from: (a) socialist theory of the state, human nature, family life, and the relationship between need and resources (b) 'socialist' countries such as Russia and Cuba (c) struggles about welfare policies under capitalism. It attempts to answer a number of questions posed by the discipline of social ad…

Medical Care and Health under State Socialism
This paper derives a conception of ideal socialist and communist medical care and health policy. This model is based on a review of Marxist and allied critiques of capitalist medical care policy and on theoretical work on socialist social policy. The ideal conception, operationalized in terms of 16 criteria, is then applied to a review of medical care and health policy in the Soviet Union, Hungary, and Poland. It is concluded that medical care po…

Working-class opinion and welfare strategies
This article reports the results of a recent survey into the attitudes of a small sample of working-class voters in Plymouth. The survey in general reinforces the conclusions of previous studies regarding the perceptions of who benefits from state welfare, which are the preferred and less preferred services, the existence of a bedrock of defence of state welfare coexisting with reported negative experiences of some aspects of state welfare. The n…

International Organizations, the EU and Global Social Policy
Much of the discussion about globalization assumes a certain economic logic which suggests there is an inevitability to the process and form of globalization. It is a ‘fact’ of life to which governments have to adjust. The contribution of this chapter is to draw attention to the politics of globalization and, in particular, the ‘hidden’ politics of international organizations such as the Bretton Woods organizations, the WTO, the UN social agencie…

Then, I shall summarise the main trends in social policy that have emerged since the collapse of the old regimes in 1989. Here we wil…
