The Big Society Concept as a Vehicle of Change to the British Conservative Party's Image and Social Policy

• Języki publikacji: PL

Abstrakty

W artykule autorka przybliża czytelnikowi główne założenia konceptu "Big Society" jako nowego podejścia do polityki społecznej i idei ukazującej nowe oblicze brytyjskiej Partii Konserwatywnej pod rządami Davida Camerona. W dużej mierze opiera się na analizie przemówień Davida Camerona oraz dokumentów Partii Konserwatywnej i rządu koalicyjnego. Pokazuje, w jaki sposób "Big Society" miało wpłynąć na budowę kapitału społecznego. Analizuje, w jaki sposób miało wspomóc Camerona w zmodernizowaniu wizerunku partii tak, by uwiarygodnić przeprowadzane reformy. Autorka artykułu ukazuje także, w jaki sposób idee "Big Society" wprowadzono w życie, poprzez bliższą analizę projektu National Citizen Service oraz planu upełnomocnienia wspólnot dzięki uchwaleniu nowych regulacji na mocy Localism Act 2011. Przedstawione przykłady wskazują, że nie udało się osiągnąć wszystkich celów "Big Society". Sama idea spotkała się też z dużą krytyką. Mimo to przeprowadzona analiza założeń "Big Society" pokazuje, że omawiany koncept promowany przez Camerona, a następnie od 2016 r. także Theresę May, powinien być uznany za nowe podejście do polityki społecznej w Wielkiej Brytanii, za rzeczywistą próbę modernizacji partii w ramach jej tradycji myślowych, a także interesujący przykład na politykę dotyczącą budowy kapitału społecznego.

The paper sets out to accomplish several goals. Firstly, it outlines the principal assumptions underlying the idea of Big Society as a new approach to social policy geared to building up Britain's social capital. Secondly, the paper analyzes the concept as a measure that was expected to help modernize the Conservative Party under David Cameron. A substantial part of the paper is based on David Cameron's speeches and on publications by the Conservative Party and the coalition government. In an attempt to assess the implementation process of Big Society policies, the author examines the effects of an important Big Society project - the National Citizen Service program - and of the community empowerment regulations adopted in the Localism Act 2011. The examples provided show that many of the Big Society goals have not been achieved. A lot of criticism has therefore been targeted at the idea as such. Nevertheless, Big Society should definitely be seen as driven by an innovative outlook on social policy and motivated by a resolve to increase Britain's social capital. It is at the same time an ambitious endeavor to modernize the Conservative Party while not undermining its traditional attitudes toward society and politics. (original abstract)
