    The two paradoxes of welfare democracy (2002)
    Oxford, UK and Boston, USA : Blackwell Publishers Ltd

    Notes: This article has three objectives. First, to apply the debate concerning deliberative or discursive democracy to the subject of social policy in order to renew and update the long-standing attempt to go beyond the paradigm of welfare-state capitalism. The ‘crisis of universalism’ is outlined and this is then explained in terms of the traditional welfare state’s ‘democratic deficit’. Second, to suggest that applying these debates reveals two paradoxes that bear implications not only for social policy but also for the entire project of discursive democracy. The first paradox refers to the need to combine proceduralist and pluralist theories of deliberative democracy, despite the ultimate irreconcilability of these philosophies. The second refers to the problem of social transition and the fact that democratisation and social equalisation require one other. The third objective is therefore to suggest that welfare traditionalists have nothing to fear from what are here called ‘post-universalist’ critiques.

    New Agendas for Social Policy and Criminology: Globalization, Urbanism and the EmergingPost-Social Security State (2001)

    Notes: The subjects of social policy and criminology have long been concerned with the criminalization and regulation of the poor. The premise of this paper is that in recent years new forms of criminalization and regulation have emerged that various authors, from both disciplines, have begun to theorize. The paper aims to contribute to this growing literature by bringing together diverse themes that deserve to be extensively discussed in conjunction with one another. These are: first, globalization; second, the changing nature of the state; third, the reorganization of space and time, especially at the urban level. It proceeds through examinations of some of the recent work of Jock Young, David Garland, Ramesh Mishra, Peter Taylor-Gooby and Zygmunt Bauman. It concludes that theoretical and empirical research should analyse the reorganization of space and time which is being effected by the “post-social security state” and it is this which constitutes the new agenda for social policy and criminology.

    Making Welfare for Future Generations (2001)
    Oxford, UK and Boston, USA : Blackwell Publishers Ltd
    Social policy and administration 35 (2001), S. 0

    ISSN: 1467-9515

    Topics: Political Science , Sociology
    Notes: This article attempts to construct a new temporal framework for social policy. It draws upon a theory of intergenerational justice that has been elaborated by the author elsewhere and uses that theory to elaborate upon the principles of “sustainable justice”. The article addresses some of the diffcult philosophical dilemmas that those principles generate and argues that reconciling the interests of present and future generations of the least well-off requires the design of a new property regime. An ecosocial regime is defned and discussed, especially in terms of substitutable goods. The article concludes by debating the prescriptive implications of the above for social policy and future welfare reform.

    Streams, Grants and Pools: Stakeholding, Asset-Based Welfare and Convertibility (2007)
    Berkeley, Calif. : Berkeley Electronic Press (now: De Gruyter)

    Notes: Many recent policy-related debates have centred on the possibility of constructing post-social insurance and post-means tested forms of income provision. Such asset-based welfare and stakeholding proposals have included Basic Income (BI) and some form of endowment or Capital Grant (CG) scheme. Although the differences between these systems are certainly real, and present us with distinct policy options, they are often overstated. This article has two objectives, therefore - the first of which is to identify the key similarities and differences between BI and CGs, and to argue the case for a partial, non-time-limited and unconditional BI. Second, this article reviews the issue of convertibility, i.e., the main normative questions to consider when designing a system permitting the mortgaging of income streams into lump-sum grants or pools.

    Postmodernism, Welfare and Radical Politics (1996)
    Cambridge : Cambridge University Press

    Notes: AbstractThis article argues that postmodernist theory is something which students of social policy should neither accept uncritically nor dismiss out of hand. Firstly, the article takes issue with the responses made to postmodernist theory by Ramesh Mishra and Peter Taylor-Gooby. Secondly, it argues that the ideas loosely known as ‘reflexive modernisation’ constitute a more measured and critical response, though such ideas are likely to be of little use to social policy research in the absence of any reference to a left-right spectrum. Thirdly, it argues that by combining reflexive modernisation with a left-right spectrum, a decentred conception of welfare emerges which could be of value to a radical left politics. Finally, it argues for a Citizen's Income as a reform proposal which has the potential to establish such a system of decentred welfare.
