Taylor & Francis Social Policy in PostApartheid South Africa
Book SynopsisThis book critically examines the current social policy in post-apartheid South Africa and proposes an alternative social policy agenda to create a new development pathway for the country. Taking social policy as a vehicle that will facilitate the creation of a new society altogether, namely the Good Society, the author argues for the adoption of policy that will socially re-engineer South Africa. The author shows how the policy tools and development interventions which were undertaken by the post-apartheid state in driving South Africaâs transformation agenda failed to emancipate many individuals, families, and communities from the cycle of intergenerational poverty and underdevelopment. He contends that social policy interventions that foster the social re-engineering of South African society must take place to untangle the inherited colonial-apartheid social order. This book includes comparative analyses on the Global South and Global North to present the ways in which countries such as post-Second World War Great Britain and Sweden, and post-independence Zambia of the 1960s and 1970s, were able to use social policy to create new societies altogether or places similar to the Good Society. The conceptual and methodological issues that form the basis for this book reside in public policy-making and the public good and will be of interest to scholars of social policy, social development, and South African society.Table of ContentsPART I: Conceptual and theoretical perspectives.

Taylor & Francis Ltd SelfDeclaration in the Legal Recognition of
Book SynopsisSelf-Declaration in the Legal Recognition of Gender examines the impact of legislation premised upon the principle of self-declaration' of legal gender status. Existing doctrinal and comparative analyses have tended to come out strongly in favour of, or against, self-declaration. This book offers a socio-legal alternative which focuses on how self-declaration is experienced, on an embodied level, by trans and gender diverse people. It presents research conducted in Denmark, which became the first European state to adopt self-declaration in June 2014. By analysing Danish law through a Foucauldian framework which brings together socio-, feminist, and trans legal scholarship on embodiment and jurisdiction, the book offers the first empirically based and theoretically informed analysis of self-declaration. It draws upon legal consciousness, affect theory, vulnerability, and governmentality literatures to argue that the jurisdictional boundaries which existed between law Trade Review"Self-Declaration cuts through frequent misunderstandings around ‘gender ‘self-ID’’. It gets behind the headlines, reflecting upon what experiences of the categories of sex and gender mean for law. Dietz's concept of ‘legal embodiment’ explores how bodies become sites of regulation. Based on original research in Denmark, the book brings the voices of those seeking – and resisting – gender recognition into sharp focus." Sally Hines, Department of Sociological Studies, The University of Sheffield, UK"Understanding the juridical situation of trans people in Denmark and worldwide has never been more urgent. Self-declaration makes an important contribution to this area. Its theoretical scope – which draws upon feminist theory, affect theory, and studies of governmentality – constitutes a novel intervention into discussions of trans identities and justice. This book will be invaluable to researchers, stakeholders, and the public." Mons Bissenbakker, Department of Nordic Studies and Linguistics, University of Copenhagen, Denmark"Dietz gives us a timely investigation of the self-declaration model for gender recognition. His socio-legal study provides a fresh perspective on the exercise of medical and legal power, and how trans people adapt to, resist or reshape this configuration. Sophisticated, but accessible, radical, but pragmatic, Self-Declaration will be an essential resource for all concerned with the future of gender." John Harrington, School of Law and Politics, Cardiff University, UK"In Self-Declaration, Dietz neither romanticizes the fact of legal recognition nor forgets the continued power of institutions like the state and the hospital. The result is a refreshing, sophisticated integration of transgender studies, legal studies, and feminist theories that is a must-read for anyone trying to understand what changes in the legal regulation of gender will mean in practice."

Taylor & Francis Ltd Welfare and the Welfare State Central Issues Now and in the Future
Book SynopsisThe welfare state is still very much central in people's everyday lives. The welfare state is at the same time contested and debated, and has often been argued to be in a crisis not only in the wake of the financial crisis. Welfare and welfare states used to be a national issue and prerogative. Today welfare and welfare states are influenced by national as well as regional and global decisions. However, nation states play a decisive role influenced by national preferences and ideas, and, in recent years, populism and welfare chauvinism.This book provides an overview of the central concepts through the lenses of the state, market and civil society. It also provides the reader with knowledge on distribution in societies and how this interacts and influences different groups and their position in society. There are also chapters dealing specifically with central sectors in the welfare states such as health, long-term care and education. The book uses a comparative approach as thTable of ContentsPart 1: Central Concepts 1. Introduction 2. What Is Welfare? Some Basic Concepts 3.
