Social Citizenship in an Age of Welfare Regionalism: the State of the Social Union, the recently-published first book by Mark Simpson, will be officially launched with a webinar on 17 October. Mark will give an overview of the book's findings, with Ruth Lister (Emeritus Professor of Social Policy, Loughborough) and Neville Harris (Emeritus Professor of Law, Manchester) acting as respondents. There will also be time for discussion and questions.
Published by Hart, the book presents a socio-legal examination of national and devolved-level developments in social protection in the UK, through the eyes of politicians and officials at the heart of this process. The social union may or may not be weakening; its character is unquestionably changing, and the book lays bare the ideological and pragmatic considerations driving legal developments. TH Marshall's theory of citizenship provides the lens through which these processes are viewed, while itself being reinterpreted in light of the national government's increasing delegation of responsibility for social rights – whether to individuals, the voluntary sector or lower tiers of government.
