A Welfare Consensus? Social Policy from Thatcher to Blair
No full textResearch Abstract
A Welfare Consensus?
Social Policy from Thatcher to Blair
This thesis examines two central aspects of asset management by central government with special reference to health and education. First, it analyses the nature, structure and procedural legacy inherited by New Labour after eighteen years of Conservative control, and carries this analysis forward to determine the influence that this has on New Labour’s policy orientation. Second, with a view to the significance of institutionalist theories, which underline the potential importance of ‘path dependency’, the thesis seeks to determine what, if any, major policy differences developed with the transition from the Conservative governments of 1979-97 to the New Labour governments of 1997-2007.
From a wealth of documentary evidence this thesis concludes that New Labour, throughout its ten years period in office, while it softened the well entrenched Thatcherite policies inherited it did not reform the core objectives of ‘rolling back the state’ which had led to the introduction of market-style competition designed to drive up standards, choice and availability accompanied by the driving down of unit costs. Over a time span of almost thirty years all governments have placed health and education as twin focal points of their policy initiatives. This thesis has therefore chosen these two political drivers as major examples of continuity and changes in social policy over that period, stretching from the late 20th century and into the 21st century.
New Labour’s pragmatic acceptance in 1997 of its Thatcherite legacy with its compounded bipartisan approach led to a new welfare consensus coupled to enhanced strategic public expenditure priorities. In doing so, New Labour, under Blair, set aside its traditional, historical policies and embedded its own legacy so deeply into the economic fabric and culture of the UK that any future government, of whatever political persuasion will find the forward momentum of these policies powerful inhibitors of change. Thirty years of rolling back the state has achieved its outcome.

Symmetry in the geometry of metric contact pairs
No full textWe prove that the universal covering of a complete locally symmetric normal metric contact pair manifold with decomposable φ{symbol} is a Calabi-Eckmann manifold or the Riemannian product of a sphere and R. We show that a complete, simply connected, normal metric contact pair manifold with decomposable φ{symbol}, such that the foliation induced by the vertical subbundle is regular and reflections in the integral submanifolds of the vertical subbundle are isometries, is the product of globally φ{symbol}-symmetric spaces or the product of a globally φ{symbol}-symmetric space and R. Moreover in the first case the manifold fibers over a locally symmetric space endowed with a symplectic pair
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
No full textThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Prime minister tony blair's speech at the Annual Labour Party Conference 2003: an analysis of exigence and transitivity based on CDA and SFL
No full textDissertação (mestrado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro de Comunicação e Expressão. Programa de Pós-Graduação em Letras/Inglês e Literatura Correspondente.Esta pesquisa analisa a versão escrita do discurso político proferido pelo Primeiro Ministro do Reino Unido, Tony Blair, em 30 de setembro de 2003, na conferência anual do Labour Party (Partido Trabalhista). O discurso foi capturado do jornal eletrônico The Guardian do Reino Unido. A pesquisa propõe identificar e classificar as microexigências do discurso, tomando por base as definições que Bitzer (1968) e Gill e Whedbee (1997) apresentam para exigência. A pesquisa também propõe realizar análise das microexigências levando em conta noções de Fairclough sobre Análise Crítica do Discurso em conexão com a Gramática Sistêmico-funcional de Halliday e Matthiessen (2004) no que tange à transitividade. A pesquisa busca responder às seguintes perguntas de pesquisa: a) Quais são as exigências presentes no discurso proferido pelo PM Tony Blair na conferência anual de 2003 do Labour Party?; b) Quais são as escolhas de transitividade em termos de processos e principais participantes feitas por Blair no seu discurso ao tratar das exigências para tentar alcançar suas intenções?; c) O que a análise baseada em transitividade e nas noções de Fairclough sobre linguagem, como elemento de prática social, revela quanto às intenções políticas no discurso de Blair? Sugere-se que 30 exigências/microexigências podem ser encontradas no discurso. 840 orações são identificadas e classificadas quanto aos tipos de processos e quanto aos principais participantes. Processos materiais e participantes referindo-se a Blair, ao seu partido, ao seu governo e à Grã Bretanha predominam no discurso. Este trabalho foi desenvolvido visando contribuir à compreensão do que está por trás dos discursos políticos, as intenções dos seus autores
