Social Citizenship in the Shadow of Competition explores how
economic concepts and tools are reshaping regulatory law. Building
on studies that link law - both institutionally and discursively -
to the legitimation of economic neo-liberalism, the book charts
lawmakers' attempts to justify social welfare regulation in the
language imposed by economic theory. It presents new qualitative
findings from an ambitious regulatory reform programme targeting
over 1,700 pieces of legislation. Bronwen Morgan argues that the
interplay between economic discourse and lawmaking does not destroy
the possibility of social citizenship; however, the subsequent
regulatory conversations frequently silence or weaken the claims of
vulnerable groups. Thus, even when vulnerable groups secure
instrumental success, economic conceptions of bureaucratic
rationality impoverish their capacity to express certain kinds of
intangible values and aspirations. To expand or retain social
citizenship requires that we learn to conceive of what matters in
political economy without relying on the logic of utility or other
instrumental rationalities.
