Economic Reform, Social Welfare, Civic Society and Islamists in Morocco
Economic Liberalisation Social Capital and Islamic Welfare Provision, 2020Co-Authors: Jane Harrigan, Hamed El-saidAbstract:Morocco, like many other Middle Eastern and North African states, has a long history of populist state Welfare Provision in the form of an implicit Social Contract whereby the state provides for its citizens in return for loyalty to the regime. However, although the country has made huge strides since independence in improving social Welfare, most of its social Welfare indicators remain below those of comparable lower middle-income countries. This is because state Welfare Provision, although based on a populist model, has been biased towards urban areas and the better off.

Economic Liberalisation, Poverty and Faith-Based Welfare Provision in Egypt 1991–2006
Economic Liberalisation Social Capital and Islamic Welfare Provision, 2020Co-Authors: Jane Harrigan, Hamed El-saidAbstract:This chapter looks at the social Welfare effects of Egypt’s economic liberalisation programme in the form of the Economic Recovery and Structural Adjustment Programme (ERSAP) that was launched in 1991. It assesses the effect of the programme on Egypt’s well established Welfare state and looks at trends in poverty and other dimensions of social Welfare during the reform period. The hypothesis we wish to explore is whether or not the economic reform programme led to increased poverty and declining social Welfare through the retrenchment of state Welfare Provision. In turn, we wish to explore whether this opened up a space which encouraged greater alternative sources ofWelfareProvision, especiallyfaith-based WelfareProvision. Totheextent that this took place, we also assess the state’s response to see whether it was supportive or antagonistic towards such alternative forms of Welfare Provision.

Economic Liberalisation, Social Capital and Islamic Welfare Provision - Economic liberalisation, social capital and Islamic Welfare Provision.
2009Co-Authors: Jane Harrigan, Hamed El-saidAbstract:Economic liberalisation programmes have been introduced to several countries in the Middle East and North Africa in recent years, with the World Bank and IMF promoting this reform. The inevitable retrenchment of the state under liberalisation has arguably opened up a space for Islamic-based activities related to Welfare Provision. This book looks at two aspects of Islamic activity in the Middle East and North Africa: the development of social capital and the Provision of Welfare services, especially in the area of health and education. With in-depth country studies of Jordan, Egypt, Morocco and Tunisia, this book explores the differing experiences in the MENA countries, which range from the Tunisian experience, in which state Welfare Provision actually increased under liberalisation, to the experience of Jordan and Egypt, where increased poverty and a decline in the quality of state Welfare Provision under liberalisation has led to a large increase in Islamic Welfare activities to the extent that the Muslim Brotherhood has gained considerable political capital, and now represents the main opposition to incumbent regimes in these two countries. This book provides a detailed examination of the social impact of economic liberalisation in the Middle East and North Africa, using the social capital concept to analyse the Islamic response to Welfare changes. With a comprehensive and detailed analysis of four MENA countries and their varying experiences of economic liberalisation, this book is essential reading for all interested in Welfare, liberalisation and political economy in the Middle East and North Africa.

Communities and social care in Russia: The role of Muslim Welfare Provision in everyday life in Russia’s Tatarstan region:
International Social Work, 2020Co-Authors: Irina Kuznetsova, John RoundAbstract:Based on large-scale surveys and in-depth interviews, this article discusses the role of religion in social Welfare and social work in Russia’s Republic of Tatarstan, a majority Muslim region. It notes that there is relatively little formal social work provided by large-scale Islam-based groups. However, religious spaces are important as places where social networks are developed, facilitating social Welfare Provision within wider networks. Locally, mosques rarely provide immediate aid, such as cash transfers, but some engage in long-term targeted Provision. The article concludes that as such schemes develop, trust in religious organizations will increase and more people will turn to them in times of need.

the local spaces of Welfare Provision responding to homelessness in rural england
Political Geography, 2001Co-Authors: Paul Cloke, Paul Milbourne, Rebekah WiddowfieldAbstract:Abstract In this paper we contribute to recent discussions of the spatial restructuring of Welfare Provision in the UK. We focus on a particular sector of Welfare — the Provision of Welfare support for homeless people — and consider the complex spatialities that are bound up with agency responses to homelessness. The paper is divided into two main parts. In the first, we position central homelessness policy within a broader context of Welfare restructuring in the UK and consider important connections between central and local processes of Welfare and homelessness Provision. In the second part of the paper, we focus on the local spaces of Welfare Provision and explore sets of central–local policy entanglements bound up with the Provision of homelessness support in two rural counties in England. In doing this, we highlight how the imposition of central homelessness policy is complicated by historical and contemporary local structures of Welfare support, the nature of local homelessness, and the practices of individual local authorities. We also show how the Provision of homelessness support is further complicated by the activities of new local networks of Welfare Provision.
