The Moral Economy of Welfare and Migration

Meer over het boek

Britain's coalition government of 2010-2015 ushered in an enduring age of austerity and a moral mission of welfare reform as part of a drive for deficit reduction. Stricter controls were applied to both domestic welfare and international migration and asylum, which were presented as two sides of the same coin. Exploring the idea of a moral economy Lydia Morris examines Britain's reconfigured pattern of rights in the fields of domestic welfare and migration.
