This 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.
Since its inception in 1998, devolution has altered the character
of the UK welfare state, with dramatic change in the 10 years since
2010. A decade of austerity at national level has exposed diverging
view in how governments in London, Edinburgh and Belfast view the
social rights of citizenship. This political divide has
implications for both social security law, as the devolved
countries begin to flex their muscles in this key area for
citizens' economic welfare, and the constitutional settlement. The
book reflects on the impact of austerity, the referendum on
Scottish independence and subsequent changes to the devolution
settlement, Northern Ireland's hesitant moves away from parity with
Westminster in social protection, withdrawal from the European
Union (Brexit), and the possible retreat from austerity during the
COVID-19 pandemic. 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.
