abstract |
There is growing recognition that UK austerity measures impact adversely and more
acutely on the most disadvantaged individuals, communities and groups. These changes
may be understood as representing a shift of responsibility away from collectives
to individuals. This paper explores these issues through the lens of risk analysis.
Drawing on case study research from one neighbourhood in one Scottish local authority,
it considers how the distinctive polity in Scotland, in the context of austerity,
is redistributing social risk to vulnerable communities, groups and individuals. The
local community is adapting, with varying degrees of success, to the risk transfers
they are experiencing. Formal and informal risk mitigation measures are ameliorating,
but not countering, these risks. The penultimate section of the paper is a collaborative
endeavour. Drawing from a seminar discussion with key informants from academia, the
Third Sector and government in Scotland, some of the implications of this ‘risk shift’
are discussed; particularly in relation to extending personalisation, stresses on
social capital, changing understanding of securities, demographic developments, widening
social divisions and alternatives to austerity economics. |
