Issue-orientated activism? Comparing the emergence of concerned groups around care policies for dependent people in UK and Spain

A Talk by Professor Israel Rodriguez-Giralt (Visiting Fellow, CSISP)

This talk analyses and compares two political situations: the launch of the "Act of Dependency", an important and controversial social policy approved in 2006 by the Spanish Government with the aim of guaranteeing public support for people who cannot lead independent lives for reasons of illness, disability or age; and the austerity programme (also known as "the cuts"), promoted in 2012 by the Conservative-Liberal Democrat Coalition Government of the United Kingdom as a way to tackle the UK's budget deficit.
