    PATRICIA MCCAFFERTY WORKING THE 'THIRD WAY': NEW LABOUR, EMPLOYMENT RELATIONS, AND SCOTTISH DEVOLUTION THESIS PRESENTED FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY, DEPARTMENT OF SOCIOLOGY, UNIVERSITY OF GLASGOW MAY 2004 © PATRICIA M`CAFFERTY, MAY 2004. ABSTRACT Labour's election victory in 1997 was heralded as a new era, the dawn of a Third Way, a novel attempt to chart a unique political course overcoming the perceivedlimitations of both New Right and Old Labour. In this thesis I explore the era of New Labour generally and, in particular, the impact of the Third Way on working lives. Key to my analysis is New Labour's attempt to synthesise oppositional interests,in particular those of capital and labour. This involves a crucial rhetoric of flexibility, competitivenessand partnership. My research explores the rhetoric of New Labour in relation to the reality of this new force in power. It does this by: " drawing out key features in the development of New Labour, especially its relation to Old Labour; " examining central elementsof New Labour ideology; " arguing that Scotland should be seen as central to the transition from Old to New :Labour; " utilising a case study of industrial relations developments in a major electronics factory in the West of Scotland and, to a lesser extent, key developmentsin public sector employment. My main finding is that where New Labour's ideology promisespositive benefits, the form of its implementation has negative impacts for workers. Since I take New Labour as a process, my thesis concludes with a more speculative exploration of possible future developments,both in relations to New Labour's role in them, and their possible impact on the New Labour project.

Executive Summary The City of Glasgow has a long tradition in the pursuit of a high quality built environment and public realm, continuing to the present day. This strategy represents the next steps in this tradition by setting out how open space should be planned, created, enhanced and managed in order to meet the priorities for Glasgow for the 21st century. This is not just an open space strategy. It is a cross‐cutting vision for delivering a high quality environment that supports economic vitality, improves the health of Glasgow’s residents, provides opportunities for low carbon movement, builds resilience to climate change, supports ecological networks and encourages community cohesion. This is because, when planned well, open space can provide multiple functions that deliver numerous social, economic and environmental benefits. Realising these benefits should be undertaken in a way that is tailored to the needs of the City. As such, this strategy examines the priorities Glasgow has set out and identifies six cross‐cutting strategic priority themes for how open space can contribute to meeting them.

  • A Summary of Childcare in the East End of Glasgow
    A summary of childcare in the east end of Glasgow Executive summary Background, aims and methods ‘Childcare and Nurture, Glasgow East’ (CHANGE) aims to grow childcare services that best support children and families in the local area, working in partnership with the local community. The work is led by Children in Scotland, with Glasgow City Council and is funded by the National Lottery Community Fund. The Glasgow Centre for Population Health (GCPH) is the evaluation partner. The CHANGE project area (Appendix 2) comprises three neighbourhoods: Calton & Bridgeton; Tollcross & West Shettleston; and Parkhead & Dalmarnock. Small parts of the Springboig & Barlanark, and Mount Vernon & East Shettleston neighbourhoods also sit within the CHANGE area. This report is the third in a series of monitoring reports that the GCPH has compiled to describe childcare provision and usage in the east of Glasgow as part of the wider evaluation of the CHANGE project. This report aims to: a) describe pre-school nursery provision in the CHANGE project area. b) summarise the use of pre-school nurseries in the CHANGE area in relation to different demographic dimensions (e.g. age, gender, ethnic group, asylum/refugee status, geography, and area-based deprivation) in comparison with Glasgow as a whole; and compare the characteristics of children with a nursery place to those on a waiting list. c) compare and summarise changes in pre-school nursery provision and use of services from the previous years (2018) report. Data were derived from the following sources: child nursery registrations at June 2019 from Early Learning and Childcare at Glasgow City Council; and population data at June 2018 from National Records of Scotland.

  • Overview of Allocated Funding
    Overview of allocated funding A combined total of £979,625 has been awarded to 116 community groups and workplaces through the Cycling Friendly programme with a further £821,991 awarded to registered social landlords across Scotland for improvement facilities to promote walking and cycling. More than 90,000 people will benefit from the funding. Setting Number funded Amount funded People impacted Community groups 48 £536,737 Data not collected Employers 68 £442,888 27,500 Social housing 33 £821,991 62,119 providers Total 149 £1,801,616 89,619 Kath Brough, Head of Behaviour Change at Cycling Scotland said: “We’re delighted to announce funding to 149 organisations across Scotland to encourage more people to cycle. Cycling Scotland work closely with partners to help employers, community groups and housing associations take advantage of the benefits of cycling and this round of funding will provide opportunity for over 90,000 people across Scotland to access improved cycling facilities.” Elderbank Housing Association, based in Govan, Glasgow, will receive £25,000 to install cycle parking for the 2,700 residents living across their properties, where currently there is no cycle parking. Jim Fraser, Estate Management Inspector, said “lack of storage has been a key issue for residents, especially those in older tenement buildings, so installing bike parking will remove a significant barrier to the uptake in bike ownership and cycling as a healthy activity. Govan is well established as an area of high deprivation and residents can often be found to have low household income and higher levels of household debt. This can impact greatly on people’s ability to access public transport beyond a limited geographical area and frequency due to a lack of sufficient finance.

  • Changes in Incapacity Benefit Receipt in MSP Constituencies, 2001 & 2008
    Scottish Observatory for Work and Health University of Glasgow Changes in incapacity benefit receipt in MSP constituencies, 2001 & 2008 January 2010 Judith Brown Joel Smith David Webster James Arnott Ivan Turok Ewan Macdonald Richard Mitchell Contact: Judith Brown Public Health & Health Policy 1 Lilybank Gardens University of Glasgow Glasgow G12 8RZ [email protected] 1 Summary & Key Findings 1. The incapacity benefit (IB) rate was determined for MSP constituencies in 2001 and 2008. 2. There has been a decrease in the IB claimant rate in all the MSP constituencies except for six constituencies which show very small increases. 3. Glasgow Shettleston saw the largest fall in IB (8.3 percentage points), though it still had the highest rate of IB receipt in 2008, at 20.0% of the working age population. 4. This paper highlights the generally significant improvements in the levels of worklessness due to incapacity between 2001 and 2008 in MSP constituencies. However it confirms that there is considerable inequality across Scotland and a continuing need to prioritise interventions to improve social inclusion and work capacity. The Scottish Observatory for Work and Health is funded by the Glasgow Centre for Population Health, NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde, NHS Lanarkshire, Scottish Centre for Healthy Working Lives and the Scottish Government Health Directorates. This work is based on data provided through EDINA UKBORDERS with the support of the ESRC and JISC and uses boundary material which is copyright of the Crown and the Post Office.
