This timely book explores how changing territorial politics are impacting on social citizenship rights across the UK. The contributors contend that whilst territorial politics have always been major influences in the meaning and scope of social citizenship rights, devolved politics are now increasingly producing different social citizenship rights in different parts of the UK. Moreover, they are doing it in ways that few scholars or policymakers expect or can trace.
Drawing on extensive research over the last 10 years, the book brings together leading scholars of devolution and citizenship to chart the connection between the politics of devolution and the meaning of social citizenship in the UK. The first part of the book connects the large, and largely distinct, literatures on citizenship, devolution and the welfare state. The empirical second part identifies the different issues that will shape the future territorial politics of citizenship in the UK: intergovernmental relations and finance; policy divergence; bureaucratic politics; public opinion; and the European Union. It will be welcomed by academics and students in social policy, public policy, citizenship studies, politics and political science.
Reviews / Votes
"The feverish nature of the devolution debate in the UK means that it rarely gets beyond the ideological realm of claim and counter-claim, a process that generates more heat than light. Occasionally a book comes along that sheds some genuine light on the underlying issues, and this is undoubtedly one of them." Kevin Morgan, Professor of Governance and Development, School of City and Regional Planning, Cardiff University Morgan's testimonial in reviews "The combination of a critical engagement with T.H. Marshall's work alongside a contemporary discussion of devolution make this book a valuable and important addition to the citizenship literature. Highly recommended." Peter Dwyer, The Graduate School, BLSS (Business, Law and Social Sciences), Nottingham Trent UniversityMore details
