Most of the expansive literature on social citizenship follows its
leading thinker, T. H. Marshall, and talks only about the British
state - moreover, often referring only to England. But social
citizenship rights require taxation, spending, effective public
services and politics committed to them. They can only be as strong
as politics makes them. And that means that the distinctive
territorial politics of the UK are reshaping citizenship rights as
they reshape policies, obligations, and finance across the UK. This
timely book explores how changing territorial politics are
impacting on social citizenship rights across the UK. The
contributors contend that whilst territorial politics have always
been major influences in the meaning and scope of social
citizenship rights, devolved politics are now increasingly
producing different social citizenship rights in different parts of
the UK. And they are doing it in ways that few scholars or
policymakers expect or can trace.Drawing on extensive research over
the last 10 years, this book brings together leading scholars of
devolution and citizenship to chart the connection between the
politics of devolution and the meaning of social citizenship in the
UK. The first part of this book connects the large, and largely
distinct, literatures on citizenship, devolution, and the welfare
state. The empirical second part identifies the different issues
that will shape the future territorial politics of citizenship in
the UK: intergovernmental relations and finance; policy divergence;
bureaucratic politics; public opinion; and, the European Union. It
will be welcomed by academics and students in social policy, public
policy, citizenship studies, politics and political science.
