TL;DR: This article argues that effective entitlement was based on participation in work, war and reproduction, resulting in three types of social identity: worker- citizens, warrior-citizens and parent-citizens, which are described as 'reproductive citizenship'.
Abstract: The Marshallian paradigm of social citizenship has been eroded because the social and economic conditions that supported postwar British welfare consensus have been transformed by economic and technological change. This article argues that effective entitlement was based on participation in work, war and reproduction, resulting in three types of social identity: worker-citizens, warrior-citizens and parent-citizens. The casualization of labour and the technological development of war have eroded work and war as routes to active citizenship. Social participation through reproduction remains important, despite massive changes to marriage and family as institutions. In fact the growth of new reproductive technologies have reinforced the normative dominance of marriage as a social relation. These rights of reproduction are described as 'reproductive citizenship'. The article also considers the role of voluntary associations in Third-Way strategies as sources of social cohesion in societies where social capital is in decline, and argues that the voluntary sector is increasingly driven by an economic logic of accumulation. With the erosion of national citizenship, Marshall's three forms of rights (legal, political and social) have been augmented by rights that are global, namely environmental, aboriginal and cultural rights. These are driven by global concerns about the relationship between environment, community and body such that the quest for social security has been replaced by concerns for ontological security.

TL;DR: This paper explored the notion of sexual citizenship as a paradigm for sociologica l analysis and argued that the persistence of gender inequality in industrial capitalism indicates the limitations of the liberal model of citizenship.
Abstract: Despite the obvious growth in sociological research into the social and cultural foundations of modern citizenship, the gender dimension of social rights has yet to be adequately conceptualised. This review article explores the notion of ‘sexual citizenship ’ as a paradigm for sociologica l analysis. Feminist criticism of the legacy of T.H. Marshall’s theory of social rights has argued that the persistence of gender inequality in industrial capitalism (with respect to employment, wages, child support and social mobility) indicates the limitations of the liberal model of citizenship. The effects of the ‘glass ceiling’ on the social and economic advancement of women have demonstrated the futility of both liberal contract theory and the Marshallian perspective on citizenship, wherein the

Abstract: Current developments towards globalization, European integration and devolution have opened up a space for the transformation of national identity in Britain. Our interest is in the question of how this space is being filled by members of the post-war generation elite. Given that the relationship between generations and national consciousness has received little attention, this article explores how a particular generation is responding to these developments. Moreover, because the literature on both generations and nationalism has tended to marginalize women, this article focuses on post-war women. Based on an inductive approach, we have constructed a model of an emergent national identity that we have called ‘cosmo-politan nationalism’. We found that members of the post-war elite generation of women were offering narratives about national identity that were open in their tol-eration for local national identities such as Welsh and Scots; cosmopolitan in their identification with Europe and empathy for mult...

TL;DR: In this article, the authors consider how notions of risk and regulation could be seen as a global dynamic of medicine and health care, and the question about global risks and their control is fundamentally a question about politics, namely the possibility of global governance and the protection of rights.
Abstract: In contemporary social science debate the notion of risk society and the theory of globalisation have merged into a single view of the predominantly negative consequences of technological change. Globalisation theory, emerging from world systems theory, has addressed fundamental cultural and social features of the global system, but has so far neglected important aspects of medical technology, drug industries, health regulation and markets for body parts. These developments could be conceptualised as 'iatro-globalisation'. This article is critical of many aspects of the contemporary sociology of risk, especially because 'risk' is typically poorly defined and confused with 'hazard'. The article considers how notions of risk and regulation could be seen as a global dynamic of medicine and health care. The question about global risks and their control is fundamentally a question about politics, namely the possibility of global governance and the protection of rights.

TL;DR: Variability in allozyme patterns is demonstrated among 111 British populations of Liposcelis bostrychophila (Badonnel), an obligatory parthenogenetic liposcelid species that is a common domestic pest in the United Kingdom, such that there appears to be higher levels of tolerance in southern, than in northern, Britain.

TL;DR: The authors examine the European debate about the authority of cultural origins through a commentary on the philosophy of Martin Heidegger and, following the Lacanian notion of the imaginary, describes the issue of authentic beginnings as the problem of the originary.
Abstract: The problem of Orientalism as a system of classification that maps out the cultural and political boundaries between East and West has been widely discussed within the humanities and social sciences, but it has been less overtly prominent as an issue in the specific field of archaeology. This absence is peculiar, given the legitimating role of classical archaeology as an account of the primitive occupation of space. We can initially explore the question of archaeological Orientalism in terms of Karl Jaspers’s notion of axial ages. This concept is useful in the analysis of what we might call the construction of a ‘privileged space’ in European philosophy. This article examines the European debate about the authority of cultural origins through a commentary on the philosophy of Martin Heidegger and, following the Lacanian notion of the imaginary, describes the issue of authentic beginnings as the problem of ‘the originary’. In postmodern social theory, Heidegger has been a dominant influence in the deconstr...

TL;DR: Charisma is associated with the sociology of Max Weber, especially his typology of authority and legitimacy as mentioned in this paper, and there is much debate as to whether charisma still operates in modern society, and whether the theory can be generalized to Asian religions.
Abstract: Charisma is associated with the sociology of Max Weber, especially his typology of authority and legitimacy. Weber developed his famous contrast between tradition, charisma, and legal-rational authority. Charisma was seen to be a revolutionary form of authority, and charismatic religious leaders claimed authority on the basis of an extraordinary dispensation. With the death of the charismatic leader, followers either abandoned the movement or it became more traditional and eventually even legal-rational. Weber called this process the ‘routinization of charisma.’ There is much debate as to whether charisma still operates in modern society, and whether the theory can be generalized to Asian religions.

TL;DR: The distinction between public policy and social citizenship has been discussed in the literature as mentioned in this paper. But the distinction between the two categories of public policy regimes has been difficult to be established. The terms "public policy" and "social policy" are generally used interchangeably in the English literature, and conceptual efforts to differentiate them effectively have been inconclusive.
Abstract: ‘Citizenship and public policy’ refers to the political processes whereby the state translates the entitlements of social citizenship into effective administrative and legislative arrangements. The terms ‘public policy’ and ‘social policy’ are generally used interchangeably in the literature, and conceptual efforts to differentiate them effectively have been inconclusive. By contrast, the notion of ‘citizenship’ is less ambiguous, referring to the rights and obligations of members of a political community, typically a nation state. ‘Social citizenship’ is often employed to distinguish between a narrow range of political rights (for instance the right to vote) and an extensive ensemble of entitlements to health, education, and welfare. In European social science, the study of citizenship has focused on those welfare policies that alleviate inequalities in the market, especially social class. In the USA, research on citizenship has been primarily concerned with understanding migration, ethnicity, and naturalization. The analysis of citizenship and public policy is essentially the analysis of different forms of welfare regime. It is conventional to distinguish between three legacies: liberal, social democratic, and corporatist models. These regimes constructed very different patterns of citizenship, and correspondingly had different public policy traditions. In general terms, the politics of the modern state have oscillated between public policies that required either laissez-faire economics or some degree of state regulation. In the period following World War Two, social reconstruction required some version of social Keynesian policy. More recently, the dominance of neoliberalism has rejected bureaucratic and centralized welfare systems in favour of recommodification. These policies have often encouraged partnerships between state, the market, charities, and voluntary associations. Public policy in the future will have to respond to the impact of economic globalization on the political sovereignty of the nation state, because policy regimes will, for example, be under constant pressure from global financial markets.
