Abstract

Over recent years, there has been increasing attention to migration in social policy research. Uniting this research has been a focus on cross-national migration, and predominantly immigration. In the meantime, the relationship between human mobility and social policy at other scales and sites has gained much less attention. This is in spite of the salience of multiple forms of mobility and measures for restricting, facilitating or promoting mobility not confined to the territorial borders of the nation-state. This article proposes an alternative mobility perspective for social policy research that moves us beyond the limitations of current migration approaches. To do so, we draw on interdisciplinary mobilities theory and research. Empirically, we apply a mobility perspective to examine how systems of social provision are shaped by and shape mobility and immobility, in restricting, facilitating or promoting the movement of people. We argue that such an approach allows us to frame and address questions that place mobility and immobility as central to the social relations of welfare, advancing our understanding of how social policies can reduce or reinforce the inequalities of mobility.

对社会政策研究中流动性的理解
近年来,在社会政策研究中,人们越来越关注移民问题。将这项研究结合起来,重点关注跨国移民,主要是移民。与此同时,在其他规模和地点,人类流动性与社会政策之间的关系却很少受到关注。尽管多种形式的流动以及限制、便利或促进流动的措施并不局限于民族国家的领土边界,但这一点仍然很突出。本文为社会政策研究提出了另一种流动性视角,使我们超越了当前移民方法的局限性。为此,我们借鉴了跨学科流动性理论和研究。从经验上讲,我们应用流动性视角来研究社会保障体系是如何由流动性和不动性形成的,以及如何限制、促进或促进人员流动。我们认为,这种方法使我们能够构建和解决将流动性和不流动性作为福利社会关系核心的问题,从而加深我们对社会政策如何减少或加强流动性不平等的理解。

期刊介绍: Global Social Policy is a fully peer-reviewed journal that advances the understanding of the impact of globalisation processes upon social policy and social development on the one hand, and the impact of social policy upon globalisation processes on the other hand. The journal analyses the contributions of a range of national and international actors, both governmental and non-governmental, to global social policy and social development discourse and practice. Global Social Policy publishes scholarly policy-oriented articles and reports that focus on aspects of social policy and social and human development as broadly defined in the context of globalisation be it in contemporary or historical contexts.
