| Popis: | [Extract] The following chapter explores GSP in relation to global inequality and how this is interconnected with globalization, the governance of GSP, and the notion of redistribution, regulation, and rights associated with social policy. GSP, according to Deacon et al (1997, p. 195), is described as: A practice of supra-national actors [which] embodies global social redistribution, global social regulation, and global social provision and/or empowerment, and … the ways in which supranational organisations shape national social policy (see Yeates, 2014, p. 10). In the literature, organizations may be referred to as either supra-national (Deacon 2007) or transnational (Yeates 2014), whereby the power and influence of such organizations (e.g., United Nations) extend beyond a single country. This latter issue of power and influence points to the emerging role of international agencies which have become more prominent in what is termed the global governance of social policy. |
