The 20th century led to radical improvements in public health across England and the United Kingdom (UK). Modern local government in the UK was born out of a growing concern about the links between social conditions and the state of public health. Yet while 'social determinants of health' has become a global discipline, local government has ceded its role over the last decade as its capacity has withered during the time of austerity. The COVID-19 crisis of 2020 has shown the capacity of local government to mobilise anew around public health issues, but its fundamental fiscal and constitutional weaknesses show that a new settlement is needed more than ever.","PeriodicalId":442386,"journal":{"name":"Local Authorities and the Social Determinants of Health","volume":"43 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-10-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133111328","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Mutuality in the public, private and third sectors","authors":"R. Simmons","doi":"10.2307/j.ctv177tgp0.29","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.2307/j.ctv177tgp0.29","url":null,"abstract":"This chapter examines the concept of mutuality and the ways in which it may be applied to the social determinants of health in local government. Mutuality is defined broadly as the sharing of a feeling, action, or relationship between two or more parties, upon which cooperation is based. In turn, cooperation may be defined as 'acting together, in a co-ordinated way, in social relationships, in the pursuit of shared goals, the enjoyment of the joint activity, or simply furthering the relationship'. With regard to governance, different expressions of mutuality and cooperation arise, but are often conflated, in the literature. The chapter looks at mutuality from these different perspectives for the social determinants of health in local government. It contends that mutuality is properly considered in conditions where its contribution may be productive, and that where mutuality meets this condition, it should be employed as productively as possible. The chapter starts from broad perspectives of governance, narrowing through the place and role of mutuality in modes of governance, to how it is expressed in specific governance arrangements.","PeriodicalId":442386,"journal":{"name":"Local Authorities and the Social Determinants of Health","volume":"33 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-10-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126976325","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
