Welfare Policy: Governance History and Political Philosophy Welfare Policy: Governance History and Political Philosophy Bernard Cadogan, D.Phil (Oxon) JULY 2013 BACKGROUND PAPER Welfare Policy: Governance History and Political Philosophy FOR THE 2013 STATEMENT ON THE LONG-TERM FISCAL POSITION MONTH/YEAR July 2013 AUTHOR Bernard Cadogan, D.Phil (Oxon) 1 Hill View Road Oxford United Kingdom Email [email protected] URL Treasury website at July 2013: www.treasury.govt.nz/government/longterm/fiscalposition/2013/ Abstract New Zealand is a veteran welfare provision state. This paper places New Zealand in the historical, ideological and political philosophy movements that have developed welfare policy in OECD European and New World nations as they have transformed from agrarian to industrial and then from industrial to post-industrial economies over the past 200 years. On this shifting map of welfare changes, New Zealand has successfully converted its mid-20th century universalist welfare system into one that emphasizes social investment, enablement and responsibilisation. This is expected to continue, reinforced by a Rawlsian construction of intergenerational equity and by reinvigorated citizenship concepts. JEL CLASSIFICATION I300 - Welfare and poverty KEYWORDS history and philosophy of welfare; classifications of welfare states; welfare provision; intergenerational equity. Welfare Policy: Governance History and Political Philosophy i Executive Summary New Zealand is not an isolate when it comes to welfare policy. It has been a leader- state and it has been a follower, since the 19th century. What has been less well understood, however, are New Zealand’s international and ideological contexts—a deficiency which this paper seeks to remedy. A critical review follows of the histories and ideologies of those forms of public provision against poverty and income insecurity that came to be referred to as “welfare” or “social security” by the 1930s-1960s period. These histories and ideologies are those of western OECD nations, arising from the Graeco-Roman concepts of citizenship and Judeao-Christian identification with, and compassion for, the poor. The Industrial revolution of the early 19th century promoted many Western polities to attempt regulatory intervention, social insurance or pay-as-you-go welfare programmes. Such programmes had become universal by the 1930s-1960s period, and mandatory, in that it became mandatory to contribute either through social insurance or taxation, and mandatory to accept benefits. These policies were closely associated with the late industrial Keynesian state. The golden age of welfare that ensued reached crisis point with the oil shocks of the 1970s. This policy sector has been in retreat since and has undergone extensive ideological re-evaluation, which this paper examines from the point of view of the literature and thought on welfare policy from several nations. This paper also reconsiders the Esping-Andersen classifications of welfare states, 30 years after they were first proposed. The mid-20th century entitlement state has become the early-21st century enablement and self-empowerment state for economies that emphasize work activation instead of universal entitlement. This change is a response to the replacement of mid-20th century industrial manual labour economies by service economies deploying higher technologies and higher educational resources. This paper also discusses the question of intergenerational equity with reference to the resources that leading political philosophers may contribute to resolve it. The status of citizenship, which had fallen into abeyance in the welfare state, is now undergoing revival and reconsideration as the corollary of the state’s own redefinition and retrenchment. Welfare remains a significant domestic output of government, but as the reorganized and reconceptualised social investment of the new liberal state.

  • Celebrities As Political Representatives: Explaining the Exchangeability of Celebrity Capital in the Political Field
    Celebrities as Political Representatives: Explaining the Exchangeability of Celebrity Capital in the Political Field Ellen Watts Royal Holloway, University of London Submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Politics 2018 Declaration I, Ellen Watts, hereby declare that this thesis and the work presented in it is entirely my own. Where I have consulted the work of others, this is always clearly stated. Ellen Watts September 17, 2018. 2 Abstract The ability of celebrities to become influential political actors is evident (Marsh et al., 2010; Street 2004; 2012, West and Orman, 2003; Wheeler, 2013); the process enabling this is not. While Driessens’ (2013) concept of celebrity capital provides a starting point, it remains unclear how celebrity capital is exchanged for political capital. Returning to Street’s (2004) argument that celebrities claim to speak for others provides an opportunity to address this. In this thesis I argue successful exchange is contingent on acceptance of such claims, and contribute an original model for understanding this process. I explore the implicit interconnections between Saward’s (2010) theory of representative claims, and Bourdieu’s (1991) work on political capital and the political field. On this basis, I argue celebrity capital has greater explanatory power in political contexts when fused with Saward’s theory of representative claims. Three qualitative case studies provide demonstrations of this process at work. Contributing to work on how celebrities are evaluated within political and cultural hierarchies (Inthorn and Street, 2011; Marshall, 2014; Mendick et al., 2018; Ribke, 2015; Skeggs and Wood, 2011), I ask which key factors influence this process.

  • Culture Wars' Reloaded: Trump, Anti-Political Correctness and the Right's 'Free Speech' Hypocrisy
    The 'Culture Wars' Reloaded: Trump, Anti-Political Correctness and the Right's 'Free Speech' Hypocrisy Dr. Valerie Scatamburlo-D'Annibale University of Windsor, Windsor, Ontario, Canada Abstract This article explores how Donald Trump capitalized on the right's decades-long, carefully choreographed and well-financed campaign against political correctness in relation to the broader strategy of 'cultural conservatism.' It provides an historical overview of various iterations of this campaign, discusses the mainstream media's complicity in promulgating conservative talking points about higher education at the height of the 1990s 'culture wars,' examines the reconfigured anti- PC/pro-free speech crusade of recent years, its contemporary currency in the Trump era and the implications for academia and educational policy. Keywords: political correctness, culture wars, free speech, cultural conservatism, critical pedagogy Introduction More than two years after Donald Trump's ascendancy to the White House, post-mortems of the 2016 American election continue to explore the factors that propelled him to office. Some have pointed to the spread of right-wing populism in the aftermath of the 2008 global financial crisis that culminated in Brexit in Europe and Trump's victory (Kagarlitsky, 2017; Tufts & Thomas, 2017) while Fuchs (2018) lays bare the deleterious role of social media in facilitating the rise of authoritarianism in the U.S. and elsewhere. Other 69 | P a g e The 'Culture Wars' Reloaded: Trump, Anti-Political Correctness and the Right's 'Free Speech' Hypocrisy explanations refer to deep-rooted misogyny that worked against Hillary Clinton (Wilz, 2016), a backlash against Barack Obama, sedimented racism and the demonization of diversity as a public good (Major, Blodorn and Blascovich, 2016; Shafer, 2017).

Workfare-style Welfare Provision in the Age of Precarious Employment in Aotearoa New Zealand A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Social Sciences in Social Policy in the Division of Arts, Law, Psychology and Social Sciences at The University of Waikato by Dayna Erin East 2020 Abstract Aotearoa New Zealand’s adoption of workfare, beginning in the late 1980s, was designed to reduce welfare dependency and reinforce employment as the pathway to greater wellbeing. Concurrent with these policy developments in welfare provision were changes in the labour market, which led to an increase in employment arrangements that can be considered precarious. Feminist literature highlights that women are more negatively impacted by these kinds of changes to the welfare system and the labour market.

  • The Port Securityscape an Ethnography
    The port securityscape an ethnography by Yarin Eski Thesis submitted in fulfilment for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy School of Social and Political Sciences University of Glasgow Scottish Centre for Crime and Justice Research 63 Gibson Street Glasgow G12 8LR Scotland Prof Fergus McNeill (first supervisor) Prof Simon Mackenzie (second supervisor) Dr Nicole Bourque (internal examiner) Prof Ian Loader (external examiner) Abstract 9/11 changed the face of maritime transport that is responsible for moving 80% of everything we consume. Ports are vital hubs in that maritime transport and any disruption there instantly affects global trade. To protect the global supply chain from crime and terrorism, both must be disrupted locally in the port by port police and security officers that are responsible for port security at operational level. Public and critical criminological attention to these key security actors, however, is virtually non-existent. This thesis therefore explores how their occupational realities and identities are (re)established in two major European ports, by providing an ethnographic account. To do so, the thesis builds on multi-sited ethnographic fieldwork in the ports of Rotterdam and Hamburg between 2011 and 2012, during which everyday policing and security work has been documented, followed by a thematic analysis. The key argument runs thus: the port is a local space for the global trade, which is underappreciated and underestimated by the public, and has its police and security professionals in place both aboard and on shore who protect and defend that vital trade site. The aggressive commercialist governmentality that goes on behind that vital global trade is unwillingly yielded to by these guardians but not without any bottom-up resistance.

It identifies through a review of theoretical economics the structural problems that lie in the current economic order. Poverty and Inequality have increased in last two decades and the millennium development goals are still far from achieved. The research identifies that lack of an ethical foundation, unbridled pursuit of self interest in production as well as in consumption, interest based financial ad monetary system are the major problematic issues in Capitalism against which mixed economy has also shown limited effectiveness. Socialism promises to create heaven on earth, but takes fundamental human rights and profit motive away and in the extreme case give way for an autocratic or totalitarian regime.

  • Worker Ownership, Democratic Management and Developmental Freedom in British Worker
    Worker Ownership, Democratic Management and Developmental Freedom in British Worker Co-operatives Robin Mark Jervis PhD University of York Politics, Economics and Philosophy January 2016 Abstract This thesis examines whether worker co-operatives are able to construct institutions of work which improve the control and security of individuals in an otherwise insecure liberal capitalist environment, drawing together literature on the viability of co- operatives, work within co-operatives and the 'developmental freedom' approach. This would be manifest in an increase in members' control over working life, an increase in economic security for individuals, and more meaningful work. The thesis extends upon the established theoretical foundations of the 'developmental freedom' understanding of work, which values control over work and control over time, by applying it to the worker co-operative. The thesis engages in a review of the theoretical and empirical literature on such organisations from economic and political perspectives, and original qualitative empirical evidence is provided by interviews at four case study co-operatives from the UK. The thesis concludes firstly that co-operatives offer an experience of work governed by social bonds of reciprocity and solidarity; secondly that they are beneficial for control over time for individuals in both the short and long term; and finally such firms are able to survive and develop in liberal capitalist economies, in part due to the embedded relationships of control within them, but under strain
