Equality and Social Policy
Originally published in 1978, this book presents a philosophical analysis of the principle of equality, and is also a study of the institutional implications of that principle in the field of social policy.The author distinguishes between a ‘procedural’ and a ‘substantive’ version of the principle of equality and considers the implications of both.Procedural equality is identified with the concept of equity and includes the recommendation that like cases should be treated as like.The application of this principle to some political argument in the area of social policy, such as family allowances, is discussed.The author defines the substantive principle as the rule that persons should share the same level of economic welfare.Some difficulties in implementing the equal welfare principle are discussed, with particular application to pensions policy.An original interpretation of the logical relationship between the principle of need and that of equality is proposed, and is applied to the case of the health services.The final 2 chapters deal with the institutional implications of the equality principle.These chapters analyse some major political arguments over the organisation of social policy, such as the compatibility of extensive social welfare measures with a market economy.

Community Gardening as Social Action
There has been a resurgence of community gardening over the past decade with a wide range of actors seeking to get involved, from health agencies aiming to increase fruit and vegetable consumption to radical social movements searching for symbols of non-capitalist ways of relating and occupying space.Community gardens have become a focal point for local activism in which people are working to contribute to food security, question the erosion of public space, conserve and improve urban environments, develop technologies of sustainable food production, foster community engagement and create neighbourhood solidarity.Drawing on in-depth case studies and social movement theory, Claire Nettle provides a new empirical and theoretical understanding of community gardening as a site of collective social action.This provides not only a more nuanced and complete understanding of community gardening, but also highlights its potential challenges to notions of activism, community, democracy and culture.

Football, Community and Social Inclusion
This special issue addresses the complex reality of English community football organisations, including Football in the Community (FitC) schemes, which have been attending to social agendas, such as social inclusion and health promotion.The positioning of football as a key agent of change for this diverse range of social issues has resulted in an increase in funding support.Despite the increased availability of funding and the (apparent) willingness of football clubs to adopt such an altruistic position within society, there remains limited empirical evidence to substantiate football’s ability to deliver results.This book explores the current role of a football and football clubs in supporting and delivering social inclusion and health promotion to its community and seeks to examine the philosophical, political, environmental and practical challenges of this work.The power and subsequent lure of a football club and its brand is an ideal vehicle to entice and capture populations that (normally) ignore or turn away from positive social and/or health behaviours.The foundations of such a belief are examined, outlining key recommendations and considerations for both researchers and practitioners attending to these social and health issues through the vehicle of football.This book was originally published as a special issue of Soccer & Society.
