Abstract

This Forum revisits an enduring debate in social policy - between universalism and targeting;and specifically, whether (on what criteria) and, if so how, to target various forms of social assistance or protection. The motivation for revisiting this discussion is the World Bank's (WB) recently published report 'Revisiting Targeting in Social Assistance: A New Look at Old Dilemmas'. We start this Forum by situating this debate between universalism and targeting within the history of social policy that helps us trace the roots of the arguments and highlight its significance for the current post-Covid-19 context as well as for the future of social policy. We consider some key themes and discuss the implications of this debate from the perspective of global social policy.

论坛简介：重新审视目标与普遍主义

本论坛回顾了社会政策中持久的辩论- -普遍主义和目标之间的辩论;特别是是否(以什么标准)以及如果是，如何以各种形式的社会援助或保护为目标。重新讨论这一问题的动机是世界银行(WB)最近发表的报告《重新审视社会援助的目标:对旧困境的新看法》。我们在本次论坛开幕之际，将普遍性和针对性之间的辩论置于社会政策的历史背景中，这有助于我们追溯辩论的根源，并强调其对当前后covid -19背景下以及未来社会政策的重要意义。我们考虑了一些关键主题，并从全球社会政策的角度讨论了这场辩论的影响。

期刊介绍： Global Social Policy is a fully peer-reviewed journal that advances the understanding of the impact of globalisation processes upon social policy and social development on the one hand, and the impact of social policy upon globalisation processes on the other hand. The journal analyses the contributions of a range of national and international actors, both governmental and non-governmental, to global social policy and social development discourse and practice. Global Social Policy publishes scholarly policy-oriented articles and reports that focus on aspects of social policy and social and human development as broadly defined in the context of globalisation be it in contemporary or historical contexts.
