Abstract
mants, in contrast to respondent JP staff. Adding weight to this, claimants participating in JP indicated considerable pressure to take any job, as quickly as possible, irrespective of their stated preferences. Given the recent contracting out of the LES along the lines of the JP programme we can surmise State Managers regard the effects of market managerialism (and by implication – workfare) a success in promoting labour discipline and commodification. Overall, this is an empirically rich and theoretically sophisticated account of welfare reform in Ireland that adds to our understanding of how and why market managerialist forms of welfare governance improve the state’s capacity to enact punitive activation of benefit claimants and work against claimant–SLB solidarity. Well-written and tightly structured this book warrants a place on the reading list of anyone interested active labour market policy and governance.
期刊介绍:
Critical Social Policy provides a forum for advocacy, analysis and debate on social policy issues. We publish critical perspectives which: ·acknowledge and reflect upon differences in political, economic, social and cultural power and upon the diversity of cultures and movements shaping social policy; ·re-think conventional approaches to securing rights, meeting needs and challenging inequalities and injustices; ·include perspectives, analyses and concerns of people and groups whose voices are unheard or underrepresented in policy-making; ·reflect lived experiences of users of existing benefits and services;
