自2008年全球金融危机以来，许多发达资本主义经济体出现了“紧缩共识”(Farnsworth和Irving，2012)。尽管机构设置不同，但在财政巩固方面存在着显著程度的趋同(Farnsworth和Irving，2012；Taylor-Gooby，2012)。此外，政治当局一再声称，福利挥霍和依赖是公共部门债务和经济停滞的关键原因。在此基础上，政治领导人制定了重新配置工作年龄福利和限制这一领域的公共社会支出的政策授权。综上所述，这些改革对公民来说代表着一种新的、更受约束的、质量上不同的协议(Dwyer and Wright，2014：33)。这一主题部分的中心目标是探讨这些事态发展的影响及其对奉行类似“福利紧缩”战略的国家社会公民身份转变的性质和运作的意义(麦克利维，2011：360)。
Since the global financial crisis in 2008, an ‘austerity consensus’ has emerged across many advanced capitalist economies (Farnsworth and Irving, 2012). Despite differing institutional settings, there has been a notable degree of convergence on fiscal consolidation (Farnsworth and Irving, 2012; Taylor-Gooby, 2012). Alongside this, political administrations have repeatedly claimed that welfare profligacy and dependency are key causes of public sector debt and economic stagnation. On this basis, political leaders have cultivated a policy mandate to re-configure working-age welfare and constrain public social expenditure in this domain. Taken together, these reforms represent a ‘new, more constrained and qualitatively different deal for citizens’ (Dwyer and Wright, 2014: 33). The central objective of this themed section is to explore the impact of these developments and their significance for the shifting character and operation of social citizenship in countries pursuing a similar strategy of ‘welfare austerity’ (MacLeavy, 2011: 360).
