Social policy in Africa
The ideas, practicalities, and challenges of establishing effective social protection in Africa are steadily, if somewhat slowly, gaining notice in both policy-making forums and mainstream social policy analysis. The world’s second largest and populous continent, Africa is also its poorest region, with chronic poverty, vulnerabilities, and preventable hardship. Despite some significant developments in social welfare interventions and outcomes sin…

It is essential to examine whether their approach to social policy in the South is effective, legitimate and desirable for the substantive agendas and programmes in…

The role of historical contexts in shaping social policy in the global South
Social policy in the context of new global actors
China’s role as an emerging donor and its conceptualization of social policy in Africa has generated polarized reactions in the West. Many argue its ‘productivist’ approach is driven less by notions of citizenship and social rights, and more in terms of accumulation functions. Social investment is justified for broader economic development goals in contrast to current safety-net or ‘welfarist’ models of Western donors. While some international or…

Why do families still not receive the child support grant in South Africa? A longitudinal analysis of a cohort of families across South Africa
BACKGROUND: Child cash transfers are increasingly recognised for their potential to reduce poverty and improve health outcomes. South Africa's child support grant (CSG) constitutes the largest cash transfer in the continent. No studies have been conducted to look at factors associated with successful receipt of the CSG. This paper reports findings on factors associated with CSG receipt in three settings in South Africa (Paarl in the Western Cape …
Social Assistance and Dependency in South Africa
Despite the absence of an unemployment grant in South Africa, there is growing concern that other social assistance provision might nevertheless weaken work motivation and create a 'dependency culture'. This study explores attitudes about the relationship between grant receipt and paid employment in South Africa. Using both quantitative and qualitative data, it examines whether there is evidence of a 'dependency culture', the nature and strength …
Addressing poverty through community-based income generation projects
This article presents the findings of a qualitative study of an income generation initiative developed in South Africa during the late1990s. The initiative reflected a growing policy emphasis that work had to be a main pathway out of poverty, and was designed to encourage entrepreneurship among deprived communities by providing grants for small business creation. The study found several barriers and challenges to successful implementation and pol…
Modern Challenges to the Welfare State and the Antecedents of the Third Way
There has been considerable rethinking on the part of governments when it comes to social policy, in particular, about the relationships between the labour market, the family, and the state, and about the role of the state and the nature of governance. Very little of the post-war welfare settlement remains unquestioned, whether the nature of the risk addressed; the nature of entitlements and the form of conditionality to be applied; or the best m…
Welfare State Change
This book explores the origins, content and consequences of Third Way social policy reform in the welfare systems of industrialized economies. It considers the extent to which Third Way ideology and institutional structures converge or vary in various national settings. The book is divided into three parts. Part I traces the political and historical development of the Third Way social policy agenda. Part II focuses on the areas central to restruc…

Will Doctors Manage? Lessons from general practice fundholding
English Under the UK Conservative government, GP fundholding represented a major increase in the involvement of primary care doctors in the management of local service provision. The Labour government’s proposals for Primary Care Groups extends and develops this role. This article examines the experiences of fundholding of a group of general practices which participated in an external evaluation of their work. Opinions about the merits of fundhol…
The patient's view of general practice fundholding
We report the results of a survey of patients' awareness, attitudes and satisfaction regarding fundholding and related developments in primary care, and compare the responses of patients in fundholding and non-fundholding practices. (Six total fundholding general practices and two non-fundholding general practices in West Berkshire were included.) An anonymous postal questionnaire was sent to 1150 patients with joint pain aged 17-80, of whom 715 …
