INEQUALITIES IN THE UK: NEW DISCOURSES, EVOLUTIONS AND ACTIONS

Book ID/图书代码： 04331420C00014

English Summary/英文概要： This book addresses the question of the extent of and responses to inequalities in the UK in 2017 in the wake of the 2008 Great Recession. Inequality is the issue that won’t go away, a real world issue affecting all facets of society with political and economic developments such as austerity measures, Brexit and changes in political leadership impacting the inequality landscape.

Six of the chapters examine the extent of economic inequalities and poverty using quantitative and qualitative methods that help map regional differences, compare the UK with the rest of the EU and go beyond the traditional measures and concepts. Seven chapters explore how inequalities have evolved since 2008 and have been tackled by policy makers in five policy areas (health, housing, education, gender and immigration) taking into account the new legislative framework and in one party (labour). Finally, six others address the issue of the governance of inequality by looking at how inequality features in the political agenda of the devolved assemblies in Northern Ireland, Scotland, Wales as well as at a local level in Ipswich and London.

Based on recent surveys and current academic thinking, this book provides an up-to-date account of the extent and distribution of inequalities in the UK, of the evolving ways in which inequalities are measured and addressed as well as the changing perception of inequalities by the general public and policy-makers

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 这本书探讨了英国在2008年大衰退后的2017年不平等程度和应对措施的问题。不平等是一个不会消失的问题，一个现实世界的问题，它影响着社会的各个方面，伴随着政治和经济的发展，例如紧缩措施、英国脱欧和政治领导的变化，影响着不平等的状况。

其中六章探讨了经济不平等和贫困的程度，使用定量和定性的方法，帮助绘制地区差异，比较英国和欧盟其他国家，并超越传统的措施和概念。七章探讨了自2008年以来不平等是如何演变的，以及在五个政策领域(卫生、住房、教育、性别和移民)的政策制定者是如何在考虑到新的立法框架和一党(工党)的情况下加以解决的。最后，其他六个国家通过研究北爱尔兰、苏格兰、威尔士以及伊普斯维奇和伦敦地方议会的政治议程上的不平等问题来解决治理不平等的问题。

基于最近的调查和当前的学术思想，这本书提供了一个最新的不平等的程度和分布在英国不平等的衡量和处理的演变的方式，以及一般公众和政策制定者对不平等的变化的看法。（WYL)

Drawing on data from the Great British Class Survey and other sources, contributors in urban studies, geography, social policy, British studies, economic research, and sociology use both quantitative and qualitative methods to assess economic inequalities in the UK during the period 2008-2017. The situation in the UK is also compared with the EU as a whole. The book reveals regional differences in economic inequalities in the UK and in how the government has dealt with problems in health, housing, education, and immigration. The book concludes with discussion of the impact of the ‘inequality agenda’ on political debates and public policies. B&w maps, charts, and images are included. -- Annotation ©2018, (protoview.com)
