英国的“福利国家”已经转变。“福利”已被新的“工作福利”制度(“工作计划”)所取代,该制度由更严格的国家监管措施定义,适用于那些领取失业救济金的人。美国式的强制性社区工作计划正在恢复和扩大。因此,这篇文章考虑改变英国公众对工作和福利的态度,特别是改变对工作年龄福利和失业福利的态度。它还考虑了最近的国家转型在多大程度上可以解释为传统的劳工政治和基于阶级的团结的衰落。因此,我们试图发展一个更丰富的理解不断变化的公众对福利的态度和惩罚性的监管“工作福利”的做法,现代国家在自由市场经济中从事;反映意识形态,党的政策,流行的态度和他们的政治影响之间的关系的性质。
The British ‘welfare state’ has been transformed. ‘Welfare’ has been replaced by a new ‘workfare’ regime (the ‘Work Programme’) defined by tougher state regulatory practices for those receiving out‐of‐work benefits. US‐style mandatory community work programmes are being revived and expanded. This article, therefore, considers shifting public attitudes to work and welfare in Britain and changing attitudes to working‐age welfare and out‐of‐work benefits in particular. It also considers the extent to which recent transformations of the state may be explained by declines in traditional labourist politics and class‐based solidarity. Thus, we attempt to develop a richer understanding of changing public attitudes towards welfare and the punitive regulatory ‘workfare’ practices engaged by the modern state in the liberal market economy; reflecting on the nature of the relations between ideology, party policies, popular attitudes and their political impact.
