本文倡导新一代社会保护（SP）研究，认真分析全球南方的政治和政策制定过程。它以 ESRC 和卡内基公司资助的定性研究为基础，结合了社会政策和关键政策分析的理论见解，强调了政策框架在塑造发展和社会福利成果方面的重要性。从经验上看，本文所依据的更广泛的研究涵盖了过去十年中东和北非地区发生的广泛社会政策变化。本文采用的关键政策方法非常重要，因为战略政策作为国际发展干预措施的全球导向，在其政策实施范围似乎比其宣称的目标更窄的情况下仍能持久存在。本文根据三个话语顺序对 SP 进行分类：社会风险管理、社会正义/社会契约、（“事前”）社会保护制度化（特别是社会援助），以解决 SP 概念化中的“话语封闭”领域（Veit-Wilson，2000）。在此分类的基础上，本文提出了一个分析SP的框架，强调了帮助SP政策实施的三个要素的重要性：（1）提供服务中的国家与公民社会关系； (2) SP 的道德参数，而不仅仅是法律参数； (3)社会凝聚力的增强作为SP的最终成果。这三个要素支持对社会政策进行面向过程的分析，包括政策参与者、原则和目标，从而可以更好地确定社会政策对全球南方社会政策议程的长期影响。 (C) 2019 Elsevier Ltd. 保留所有权利。
This paper advocates for a new generation of social protection (SP) research that takes seriously the analysis of political and policy-making processes in the Global South. Based on qualitative research funded by the ESRC and Carnegie Corporation, it combines theoretical insights from social policy and critical policy analysis to highlight the importance of policy framing in shaping development and social welfare outcomes. Empirically, the broader research upon which the paper is based covers the broad range of social policy changes that have happened in the Middle East and North Africa region over the last decade. The critical policy approach adopted in this paper is important because of the endurance of SP as a global orientation in international development interventions at a time when its operationalisation in policy terms appears to be narrower than its professed goals. The paper categorises SP according to three orders of discourse: social risk management, social justice/social contracts, ("ex ante") institutionalisation of social protection (specifically social assistance), in order to address areas of "discourse closure" (Veit-Wilson, 2000) in the conceptualisation of SP. On the basis of this categorisation, the paper proposes a framework for analysing SP that highlights the importance of three elements to aid SP policy operationalisation: (1) state-civil society relations in the provision of services; (2) the ethical and not only legal parameters of SP; (3) the enhancement of social cohesion as a final SP outcome. These three elements support a process-oriented analysis of SP encompassing policy actors, principles and goals that can better ascertain the long-term impact of SP on social policy agendas in the Global South.
