Research Handbook on Human Rights and Poverty is now in paperback. It also includes my chapter entitled "A human rights critique of contemporary social policy paradigms: new behaviourism, social investment and new universalism". Have a look: https://doi.org/10.4337/9781788977517.00037
How can a human rights perspective push the study of ideas and paradigms in social policy toward a better understanding of their human rights implications? How can the social policy discipline, with its theories, conceptual tools and methodologies, inform the human rights scholarship? Based on an intellectual attempt to bridging the rights-based approach to social policy and the social provision approach to human rights, this chapter offers a critical and contextual analysis of three dominant global paradigms in contemporary social policy literature - namely, new behaviourism, social investment and new universalism. Relying on a comprehensive review of the recent literature on selected social policy paradigms, this chapter uses human rights as a perspective to explore and discuss how the selected paradigms either implicitly or explicitly approach and respond to poverty and conceive of the state’s obligation to alleviate poverty.
