WISERD Civil Society: Changing perspectives on Civic Stratification and Civil Repair

Lead Research Organisation: CARDIFF UNIVERSITY
Department Name: Sch of Social Sciences

Abstract

WISERD celebrates its 10th anniversary this year. Over time it has grown into an international research institute that develops the next generation of research leaders. Our research brings together different disciplines (geographers, economists, sociologists, data scientists, political scientists) to address important issues for civil society at national and international levels. Our social science core provides a strong foundation for working with other disciplines including environmental science, engineering and medicine to transform our understanding and approaches to key areas of public concern. Our aim is to provide evidence that informs and changes policy and practice. This Centre will build on all previous WISERD research activities to undertake an ambitious new research programme. Our focus will be on the concept of civic stratification. This is a way of looking at divisions in society by focusing on the rights and obligations and practices of citizens and the role of civil society organisations in addressing inequalities in those rights and obligations. We will examine and analyse instances where people do not have the same rights as others (for example people who are migrants or refugees). We will also look at examples of people and groups working together within civil society to win new rights; this is referred to as civic expansion. Examples might include campaigns for animal rights or concerns about robots and Artificial Intelligence. We will investigate situations where people have the same rights but experience differences in their ability to access those rights; sometimes referred to as civic gain and civic loss (for example some people are better able to access legal services than others). Lastly, we will explore how individuals and groups come together to overcome deficits in their rights and citizenship; sometimes referred to as forms of civil repair. This might include ways in which people are looking at alternative forms of economic organisation, at local sustainability and at using new technologies (platforms and software) to organise and campaign for their rights. Our centre will deliver across four key areas of activity. First our research programme will focus on themes that address the different aspects of civic stratification. We will examine trends in polarization of economic, political and social rights, looking at how campaigns for rights are changing and undertaking case studies of attempts to repair the fabric of civil life. Second, we will extend and deepen our international and civil society research partnerships and networks and by doing so strengthen our foundations for developing further joint research in the future. Third, we will implement an exciting and accessible 'knowledge exchange' programme to enable our research and evidence to reach, involve and influence as many people as possible. Fourth, we will expand the capacity of social science research and nurture future research leaders. All our research projects will be jointly undertaken with key partners including civil society organisations, such as charities, and local communities. The research programme is broad and will include the collection of new data, the exploitation of existing data sources and linking existing sets of data. The data will range from local detailed studies to large cross-national comparisons. We will make the most of our skills and abilities to work with major RCUK research investments. We have an outstanding track record in maximising research impact, in applying a wide range of research methods to real world problems. This exciting and challenging research programme is based on a unique, long standing and supportive relationship between five core universities in Wales and our partnerships with universities and research institutes in the UK and internationally. It addresses priority areas identified by the ESRC and by governments and is informed by our continued close links with civil society organisations.

Planned Impact

The impact goals of this research centre are to:

Title [2019] Power, S. Infographic: Growing up in Wales: school students' perspectives and experiences 
Description Ten bilingual (Welsh/English) infographic postcards produced to display the results of the WISERD Education Multi-Cohort Study (WMCS). The postcards help to explain findings on school students' perspectives and experiences of growing up in Wales. The WMCS gathered young people's views on their teachers, school trips, why they've been asked to leave the classroom and why they've been given a detention. We also asked about the GCSE subjects they've chosen and their awareness of vocational education. We've also asked them about growing up in Wales more generally, including their awareness of and engagement with the Welsh Youth Parliament, their views and experiences of money and gambling, 'technoference' and how they spend their time outside of school. These postcards have been made available to stakeholders and other interested parties at engagement events or on request.

Title [2021] Power, S. Infographic: Life in Lockdown: Evidence from the 2020 WISERD Education Multi-Cohort Study 
Description Ten bilingual (Welsh/English) infographic postcards produced as a result of the WISERD Education Multi-Cohort Study (WMCS). The postcards help to explain findings on life in lockdown during the coronavirus pandemic. The WMCS surveyed young people in Years 7-12 about their home learning experiences during summer 2020, what they miss and whether they should be allowed to see friends. In addition to asking about resources for schoolwork, time spent learning and going to school during lockdown, we asked young people about their worries, how they had been helping out during lockdown and their daily habits. We also asked them about changing interests in politics, and knowledge of devolution in the context of different lockdown rules in Wales and England.

Description Much of WISERD Civil Society research is ongoing and covers a very broad range of issues. These findings are organised under key themes of work..

Labour markets and inequality:
Comparative work in Appalachia and Wales confirms that the mining industry's decline has weakened civic society and the broader social fabric of these areas and this is related to a wide range of health outcomes and inequalities. Moreover, social trust is lower in these coalfield areas and this may have contributed vaccine hesitancy and lower compliance with public health measures.

Research on the garment industry in Pakistan found extreme deficiencies in some of the most basic provisions for worker safety in garment production in Pakistan. Worryingly, in factories where women account for the majority of workers, only three quarters of workers reported that they had access to escape routes that were clear from obstruction. The report concludes that global brands should commit to expanding and implementing the legally binding International Accord for Health and Safety in the Textile and Garment Industry.

Findings addressing trade union membership show that an increased propensity for union membership in ex-mining areas revealing that particular places can serve as conduits of trade unionism, long after employment within traditional industries has vanished. This is important because our research has also found that insecure working hours is reduced by workplace level employee involvement exercised individually or through collective representation while the strength of employee involvement is associated with innovation. New estimates of trade union membership derived for detailed geographical areas across Great Britain. reveal wide variations in union density across the country and within particular regions. Over the period 2000-2021, union density is shown to vary between 10% in Kensington and Chelsea to 54% in Copeland, Cumbria. Such differences in union membership reflect both the industrial heritage of particular areas and current employment within unionised sectors.

A longitudinal case study of a campaign by Turkish garment workers, seeking remedy for lost earnings and severance payments due factory closure and wage theft illustrates how the workplace is conceptualised as a key 'arena of disarticulation' in the apparel value chain, central in simultaneously embedding and dis-embedding commitments by brands, the state and employers, such that even wages for work done may be denied to workers with relative impunity. This raises questions about the extent to which promises made in abstraction at the international level can hope to guarantee conditions at workplace level.

Analysis of disability-related labour market inequality in the UK during COVID-19 finds that disabled workers face greater COVID-19 economic and health risks pre-pandemic. Moreover, disability gaps in employment and pay exhibit minimal change one year post-pandemic and disabled workers have a markedly larger rise in being temporarily away from work.

Analysis of data from the National Survey for Wales found living in an area where one's group is in the minority is associated with poorer mental health. This is most commonly shown for ethnic groups, but evidence for this also applies to social class. A group density association with mental health was found for cultural but not economic aspects of class.

Removing surgical requirements for transgender people to be able to reassign gender on birth certificates increases the employment of female to male transgender people but has no effect on male to female or gender non-conforming transgender people. Findings on same sex couples in the labour market found that gay cohabitees and lesbians face a wage premium compared to their heterosexual counterparts. Decomposition results revealed that for gay cohabitees this arises due to differences in observable characteristics, while lesbians not only earn significantly more due to differences in their observable characteristics, but they also receive a higher return for these characteristics. However, the findings also showed that legally partnered gay men face barriers to advancement to senior positions.

Community and Access to services:
The Understanding Welsh Places project investigates place dependency and resilience in Wales, demonstrating how dependent or independent towns are on neighbouring places across a series of common public, commercial and social assets. The research investigates the spatial relationships of these dependencies within the context of settlement sizes, local authority types and population movement. The research has become significant with the COVID19 pandemic throwing into sharp relief the spatial inequalities in place resilience in Wales, with some places better positioned to cope with lockdowns than others, especially in the ability for people to stay local when accessing goods and services.

By incorporating multiple travel modes into GIS-derived measures research reveals disparities in access to sport facilities via alternative travel modes at different spatial scales. The research highlights instances where cycling may offer similar access levels to private car travel and demonstrates how active travel and public transport can be used to monitor the provision of recreational opportunities with important implications for policy decisions.

Floating Catchment Area (FCA) accessibility approaches were applied to a dataset of Wales bank branches for the period 2019 to 2021 and cross corroborated with bank closure data collected by the UK consumer group Which? The findings demonstrate how temporal variations in accessibility can be used to examine potential patterns of exclusion that arise from the loss of key services. To understand the full impact of service closures on rural communities any assessment of changes in accessibility needs a holistic approach that considers changes in the transport infrastructure alongside other facets of service provision.

Aggregate-level analysis of social care provision may hide geographical differences in the local provision of care services. WISERD research using geographical modelling techniques can examine local trends in the supply of social care services in relation to potential demand and finds for residential and nursing care beds in Wales for March 2020, a concentration of care home sites in metropolitan areas and in the heavily populated post-industrial valleys in the south-east. But significant demand present in these areas ameliorates concentration scores towards mid-range ratios.

Place-based field investigations of civil society at local level found the concept of civil society is contested and multifaceted while identity, connection with place and the impact of social and spatial boundaries have impact roles to play in the everyday production of civil society during periods of social and economic transformation.

Rights and Citizenship:
Findings based on an analysis of political parties' formative policy record on refugees' and asylum seekers' welfare in party manifestos for state-wide and meso-elections in the UK, 1964-2019 confirm relational contrasts in issue-prioritization and the framing of pledges - between parties and across polities. Analysis of UK and devolved government level of responses to international human rights treaty obligations revealed a raft of shortcomings including a poor monitoring and enforcement, gaps in social protection and discrimination. We have also found that local civil society responses to a "refugee crisis" can be understood not only as instances of hospitality and solidarity but also as practices of locality production.

Discourse analysis of cso s' reports on children's rights in the Occupied Palestinian Territories (opt) to the UN's monitoring mechanism, the Universal Periodic Review (upr), shows children are affected by a raft of violations including: sexual abuse, violence and inadequate access to health and education. The Israeli state's engagement with the upr, whilst denying responsibility for the opt, raises questions about legitimation and performativity. The documented pathologies are compounded by state repression of civil society.

Analysis of state and civil society organizations' (CSOs) perspectives on the contemporary situation of human rights defenders (HRD) in South Asia using submissions to the Universal Periodic Review (UPR), the United Nations five-yearly monitoring process, highlights how their engagement is characterized by performativity and legitimation. Analysis of CSOs' UPR discourse reveals that HRDs face a raft of rights violations, including threats, violence and murder. Their work is being curtailed by increasing state restrictions on freedom of association and expression. The malaise is compounded by impunity for offenders, corrupt practices and governments' failure to respond to earlier UPR recommendations. The analysis shows a strong gendered dimension to HRD oppression with women HRDs particularly vulnerable to all types of violation. These findings underline the extension to South Asia of what international analysis elsewhere has dubbed a 'counter-associational revolution', or the rise, spread and contagion of restrictive legislation. This threat to democracy in the region shows that key reforms are urgently required, including measures to ensure the justiciability of the UN Declaration on HRD.

Analysis of the corpus of civil society organizations' (CSO) submissions to the United Nations Universal Periodic Review (UPR), reveals how governments' failure to reform the law with respect to LGBT + people in Caribbean Community (CARICOM) countries is often based on public opposition grounded in religious conservatism. Moreover, the endurance of anti-LGBT + colonial era legislation is shown to underpin a raft of rights pathologies and reinforce prejudice and negative social attitudes. The principal rights breaches stem from systemic institutional discrimination, and include violence, hate crimes and harassment; police malpractice and denial of justice; as well as failings in healthcare and social protection. Analysis of framing in the civil society UPR corpus reveals the personal impacts of on LGBT + people, including criminalization, victimization, stigma, fear and lack of self-worth.

Multidisciplinary research exploring the opportunities and challenges facing civil society in today's India and Bangladesh provides insights into contemporary understanding of citizenship, gender rights and social identities. Our analysis reveals how women's organisations and movements have played a vital role, not just in strengthening women's agency but also in fighting for their rights and enhancing their participation in the public sphere. But women's movements do not necessarily always represent women's issues. This is because many women's movements are often preoccupied with the larger question of equality and justice but are detached from the everyday lived realities and problems of local women. Our analysis also reveals powerful testimony of how Muslim minorities in India and Rohingya refugees in Bangladesh are subject to ongoing rights violations.

Analysis of a data set of 2500 public petitions on animal welfare, submitted over three terms of the UK parliament showed that, while few directly secure policy change, e-petitions perform valuable legislative functions including campaigning, scrutiny and policy-influencing roles, foremost of which is linkage and fostering citizen engagement in parliamentary business. The research illustrates how, over the past decade, public petitions have significantly contributed to the increasing salience of animal welfare in UK politics.

Analysis of BSAS data found that find that supporters of the Conservative party were by far the most likely to think that Brexit would be good for the NHS. Further analysis of BSAS reveals that workers employed in middling occupations, where both relative wages and employment have fallen, were significantly more likely than workers in high-paying occupations to indicate that the UK's long-term policy should be to leave the EU. This view was particularly noticeable amongst males with middling occupations in the post-recessionary period between 2012 and 2015 and had increased significantly relative to the mainly pre-recessionary period between 2004 and 2008.

A review of the literature suggests that resistance and dissent continue to be marginal to most attempts at understanding the global political economy. Dissent is central to the constitution of power relations in the global political economy. Moreover, the effect of dissent cannot be reduced to the capacity to influence public policy.


Volunteering and participation:
We found the propensity to volunteer was marginally associated with a contextual measure of local voluntary opportunities, but this association was not retained following adjustment for other factors. This suggests that much of the area-level variance in the propensity to volunteer is explained by spatial variations in compositional factors.

Research on third sector representation and participation reveals equalities representation is restricted by institutional expectations for the third sector's unified voice. Furthermore, institutionalist discourses about the 'usual suspects' and scrutiny of the grassroot-professional paradox reveal how Welsh equalities representation is under threat. This analysis reveals the complex interaction of diverging uses of representation and participation that serve to undermine the legitimacy of expert knowledge on inequalities to inform state policy making in favour of populist constructions of the wider citizen voice.

Analysis of the development of the Council of Social Service for Wales finds that the postwar British state did not take over the general governance of voluntary social action; voluntary actors maintained their presence throughout this period the context of relatively weak distinctive civil society institutions, the Welsh Council's resilience was striking. This territorial analysis challenges the focus of previous research on British/UK-level institutions and uncovers a previously largely unresearched set of voluntary action structures which partly counter-balanced statutory reforms, which were presented as 'national' in scope. Though state reforms aimed at de-localising some policies, our analysis underscores continuities in the social service role - and self-conception - of voluntarism, particularly through its relationship to local government around the ideas of partnership and shared working.

Analysis of the National Survey for Wales found that while volunteering was marginally associated with a measure of local voluntary opportunities, hinting that the odds of formal volunteering are greater among those living in areas with more local voluntary organizations, this association was not retained following adjustment for other factors. This suggests that much of the area-level variance in volunteering is explained by spatial variations in compositional factors (i.e. the socio-demographic characteristics of individuals living in a certain place).


Digital Citizenship:
Since the COVID-19 outbreak, 'digital diasporas' worldwide have become more vulnerable with regard to their digital rights and are now facing unprecedented technopolitical risks. Hyperconnected Diasporas - raise concerns about government involvement in diaspora engagement initiatives, and the impact of social media platforms on diasporic citizens' data privacy, ethics, and ownership.

In the European context, emerging digital citizenship regimes may have resulted in nation-state space rescaling, challenging the nation-state's heretofore privileged position as the only natural platform for the monopoly of technopolitical and sensory power. Five emerging digital citizenship regimes have been identified: (i) the globalised and generalisable regime called pandemic citizenship together with four intertwined city-regionalised digital citizenship regimes in certain European nation-states' urban areas; (ii) algorithmic citizenship, which is driven by blockchain and has allowed the implementation of an e-Residency programme in Tallinn; (iii) liquid citizenship, driven by dataism in Barcelona and Amsterdam; (iv) metropolitan citizenship in reaction to Brexit and reshuffled through data co-operatives in Cardiff; and (v) stateless citizenship, driven by devolution and reinvigorated through data sovereignty in Barcelona, Glasgow, and Bilbao.

Drawing on qualitative interviews with moderators of online groups created by EU migrants living in Wales, UK, our findings reveal the diverse and sometimes ambivalent roles played by these groups, acting not only as networks of support for migrants ('communities of interest') but also driven by commercial motives.


Foundational Economy:
Research has explored the principles of the modern foundational economy and its role in renewing citizenship and informing public policy. Findings suggest that foundational economy experiments at different scales can foster radical social innovation through collective, rather than private, consumption. Case studies of initiatives and interventions around policy cornerstones including housing, food supply and water and waste management across Europe highlight the growing relevance of foundational economic thinking and its potential to provide a new political and social outlook on civil society, citizenship and social justice.

A review and stakeholder analysis of food waste suggests that implementing Total Cost Accounting (TCA) may require a simplified supply system to enable a pathway to a functioning True Cost Accounted, sustainable food system. By emphasising the diverse, and often overlooked externalities of the food system, TCA can be informative to all stakeholder groups: It should be used to influence and positively change culture through all points of the food system.

A qualitative study of community supported agriculture (CSA) in the UK found that CSA networks engage not just in business exchange but political activism and advocacy. CSA can be scaled up, out and down via institutionalisation, diffusion and education. The UK CSA network has greatly expanded in size and tactical scope since the Covid pandemic.

A case study of the NWGD found that it was borne of political pragmatism with doubts expressed by participants that this equates to a substantial vision for the future of the North Wales economy. There were concerns that the Wellbeing of Future Generations Act is not embedded within the NWGD and low levels of understanding of foundational sectors. WISERD researchers made recommendations in the report to address these points.

A study of city-region building in the Swansea Bay area suggests this (curtailed) model of economic development will exacerbate combined and uneven development, and furthermore it will not lead to the empowerment of civil society actors to be able to 'formulate an agenda, act and make change'. These issues have been further exacerbated by the COVID-19 crisis, whereby, the very model of urban agglomeration is thrown into question.

Participatory action research in Haringey and Plymouth found that by establishing enduring organisational structures where collective decisions can be made about who owns and manages land and assets, public-common partnerships (PCPs) could bolster already existing efforts to democratise urban development in both cities. As an organisational form, PCPs reframe the 'local' as a politics of proximity and as a new municipalist strategy they are well-suited to contesting the enclosure of urban landscapes.

Scaling up (whether desired or not) is a perennial issue for community-supported agriculture. An investigation of local CSA networks in Wales and Germany shows that local collaboration enables CSAs to integrate their supply chains (scaling out), engage their communities (scaling deep), and participate in food councils (scaling up). Further networking at regional level helps new initiatives start up. The research also reveals competitive tensions between neighbouring CSAs, which constitutes a hitherto unknown challenge to CSA's potential scalability.

A review of the literature found that whilst there are clear overlaps between the concept of the Foundational Economy and other theories of socio-economic development, it can be distinguished through its commitment to (a) a zonal perspective; (b) a focus on maximalist social innovations; and (c) the reconstitution of citizenship. It is argued that the lens of the Foundational Economy facilitates creative explorations of the political economy of alternatives.

Qualitative case studies of different types of cooperatives/Employee Owned Businesses located in low-paid sectors of the economy in Wales: social care, transport and manufacturing confirm several positive employee outcomes emanating from employee ownership. Cooperatives/EOBs can make 'bad' jobs better, albeit depending on the extent, depth and degree of ownership and it is important to note that cooperative models not based on employee ownership are less likely to be associated with positive employee outcomes.

Civil Society and Trust:
WISERD research has shown how the uncertainties of the 21st century present existential challenges to civil society. These include changing modes of governance (through devolution and Brexit), austerity, migration, growing digital divides, issues of (mis)trust and democratic confidence, welfare delivery and the COVID-19 pandemic and the contemporary threat to minority languages and cultures.

Analysis of European Social Survey data suggests that same-sex relationship recognition policies increase the trust that sexual minorities have in the actors and institutions that were integral to the policy change. The findings further suggest the existence of an incentive mechanism for politicians and political parties to follow public policies that reduce structural stigma of minority groups and improve their political trust.

Ethnographic fieldwork and biographical interviews in a post-industrial village in North East Wales reveals the contemporary social and communal significance of the religious dimension in local civil society. Data on social change and participation in the locality include evidence of decline in religious affiliation and practice alongside the persistence of religion in the built environment, family ties, memory, and sense of belonging.

Different territorial welfare mixes on adult social care (ASC) have emerged in the four nations of the UK. An exploration of policy actors' views on their effectiveness in the pandemic with reference to the role of institutions, trust and transparency highlights how the pandemic exposed existing pathologies and the need for reform in all four systems. Notably, the analysis shows how the present market-based tendering systems for allocating ASC contracts undermine inter-personal and institutional trust and compromise care quality. The wider significance of this lies in showing the pivotal role of trust during the emergency and that post-pandemic welfare reform needs to embed trust-building measures to deliver effective care.


Education:
Analysis of school online teaching in Wales during the Covid pandemic by means of the Hwb Digital Learning Platform found that during the lockdown, pupils and staff are more engaged with Hwb, with a peak in April 2020, however, engagement varied significantly not only across school sectors but also between Consortia and within them.

Free School Meals (FSM) has commonly been used as a proxy for economic disadvantage or low socio-economic background within educational research in the UK. However, with the offer of FSM being expanded alternative measures are required. Our descriptive results show that not all pupils who are eligible for FSM are captured by the Census measures. Our findings indicate that socio-economic indicators from the Census - namely highest household qualification, approximated social grade and economic inactivity - all behave in a similar fashion to that of the proxy measure, FSM in association with pupil attainment.

Research on migrant and minority civil society organisations (CSOs) in different European countries (UK, Czech Republic Greece) with a specific focus on Gypsy, Roma and Traveller CSOs has highlighted the different ways that civil society organisations understand their role in relation to the communities they represent. Some saw their role as focused on practical support and advocacy work, for example to address discrimination in areas of housing, or employment; Others saw their role as working in partnership with government toward the better integration of Roma within wider society. For example, implementing cultural programmes designed to address social polarization between non-Roma and Roma, or projects aimed at bridging communities. The research also highlights the difficulties some CSOs face in challenging racism and integration policies and can inadvertently and tacitly reproduce racial and cultural stereotypes about Roma. Moreover, findings indicate a disconnect between organisational and grassroots levels of civil society and the impact this has on leadership roles, capacity and community engagement. Conversely, the transnational CSO network among Gypsy, Roma, and Traveller (GRT) communities offers significant opportunities for solidarity, convergence of approaches, empowering of communities and resistance to national policies and pressures.

Research has focused on how political participation and engagement is delineated along the lines of civic divides. In the UK, after accounting for demographic characteristics, we find evidence of a disability voting gap across UK General Elections between 2010 and 2019, whereby disabled people are 6.2 percentage points less likely to vote. More than half of this gap is explained by differences in resources and networks, with the residual disability gap consistent with additional disability-specific barriers to electoral participation. We find a larger disability voting gap for those with more severe disability, disabilities relating to mental health and chronic disabilities.

Research developing Innovative methodological approaches to measure geographical access to services and facilities has focused on the provision available within reachable areas and the choices offered by alternate modes of transport. Findings have demonstrated robust, transparent and reproducible mechanisms for the generation of an evidential base upon which to evaluate spatial patterns of social inequality and disadvantage. These in turn act as essential inputs for guiding on-going policy development to address current shortcomings.
The research has demonstrated how increasingly available online resources (including live public transport timetables, site opening hours, navigable road and footpath network datasets, real-time traffic speeds, Census 2021 statistics, and others) may be appropriated, managed and assimilated through advanced database and informatics technologies. This research has found clear benefits to the incorporation of multiple transport modes within GIS-based networking tools when assessing inequalities in access to the types of services that rose to prominence during the pandemic. It has shown that a better understanding of service accessibility under the current transport environment is an important step towards planning future provision and is a prerequisite to the promotion of active travel, greater usage of public transport, development of sustainable communities, and transition towards a zero-carbon economy. Studying the impacts of recent changes to public transport on access to services has formed a key focus of the research, with studies undertaken on the following themes: Bank branch closures, access to cash, and the impacts of COVID-19 on use of cash services; Residential and nursing care home places; Access to green spaces and recreational opportunities, including the adoption of multi-modal approaches and active travel opportunities; Warm spaces and access to other community support facilities. Our research found that, in Wales, deprived areas were hit hardest by the loss of bus services during COVID-19. Research has developed a "Welsh Access to Bus Indicator" based on online timetables and the bus stops reachable from every postcode in Wales. This work has shown that spatial analysis is needed to identify the winners and losers amongst the places impacted and to determine the types of people that live within them. It has also demonstrated the need to develop websites with interactive maps of the outcomes. These have been shown to be an effective means of disseminating complex and voluminous spatial information to a wide range of interested parties such as Members of Senedd, local government officers, transport service providers, the media, transport action groups, and the wider public.

Work on Populism, Conflict and Political Polarisation has generated several insights into the roles performed by local civil society organisations in relation to polarisation in communities. The overarching finding is that these relations are complex, and that civil society groups can variously contribute to polarisation, become targets or victims of polarisation, or act as vehicles for countering or resisting polarisation. Individual organisations might enact more than one of these positions at different times or in relation to different issues. More specific findings include: Many local civil society groups that consider themselves to be apolitical have routinely served to implicitly reinforce particular political worldviews by bringing together individuals from largely similar social backgounds and creating spaces for conversations that reproduce partial perspectives unchallenged. Historically, this process has underpinned uneven power structures in communities and the exclusion or marginalisation of alternative viewpoints, but their polarising potential has been latent in the absence of a serious challenge or a catalysing issue. Polarisation is often triggered by a contentious issue that divides opinion in the community. These may include divisive national issues such as Brexit, immigration or COVID policy, but commonly gains potency when channelled through a situated local conflict, e.g. a proposal for an asylum processing centre. Not all contentious issues lead to polarisation - some may be managed through constructive political debate and dialogue. Polarisation occurs when positions become entrenched with little prospect of compromise and divisions bleed from the originating issue to affect other social relations within the community. The propensity for polarisation in communities has been increased by the erosion of facilities and services such as pubs, post offices, schools, churches, etc., that acted as 'third spaces' in communities, places where residents from different backgrounds might meet, talk and build relationships. Tendencies in individual social and recreational behaviour towards socialising based on shared interests rather than residence and joining activities, sports clubs, gyms etc outside home communities, has also contributed to the diminishing of third spaces. The loss or weakening of third spaces in communities reduces opportunities for dialogue that may prevent polarisation developing. As polarisation develops, both sides employ civil society networks and resources to strengthen their position. Local civil society groups responsible for community assets such as parks and halls or signifiers of local identity such as festivals may be targeted and drawn into conflicts as sides either seek to enrol these resources or contest their perceived enrolment by others. Geographical scale matters for the framing of issues, the definition of community interests, and the identification of 'insiders' and 'outsiders'. Polarisation can be fuelled by divergent understandings of who is part of a community and has a right to be heard based on different scales of belonging. Polarisation within communities may be amplified through social media, which may additionally allow connections to be made to wider campaigns and issues and draw in outside participants. Representation of polarising issues in social media frequently draws on tropes of nationalism, nostalgia, community cohesion, spatial justice and democracy. Civil society groups engaging with polarising far right politics may be positioned as 'victims', 'replicators', or 'resistors'. 'Victims' are organisations that are targeted by far right campaigns deliberately seeding polarisation, such as the National Trust. 'Replicators' seek to contain and counter the far right and defuse polarisation by adopting but repurposing elements of right wing language and iconography, such as patriotism and nostalgia. 'Resistors' actively oppose the far right, for example anti-fascist groups, but may contribute to polarisation in communities in so doing. Discourses on 'democratic voice' are used by civil society organisations to frame polarisation. On the one hand, the trope of 'being silenced' is a prevalent trope throughout polarising conflicts; on the other hand, discourses of enabling 'democratic voice' are employed to construct responses to polarisation, including forms of participatory and deliberative democracy. Civil society organisations can have a key role in tackling polarisation in communities by (re-)creating spaces for dialogue and engagement between polarised groups. Examples include the Jo Cox Foundation's 'Big Get Together' and Omidaze's 'The Talking Shop' projects in South Wales. Civil society actors can be well positioned to lead these initiatives as trusted local actors perceived to be outside of politics. Efforts to counteract polarisation by civil society organisations may be hindered if those organisations simply try to reconstruct a nostalgic perception of a past harmonious community without addressing underlying inequalities and exclusions that might have been present. Distrust of 'outsiders' means that attempts to counter polarisation through projects and events initiated by external actors tend not to be as successful as initiatives from within the community. Many counter-polarisation initiatives involve ephemeral events or temporary spaces and more permanent responses are required. Established local civil society groups can provide a framework on which to build these. For instance, sports clubs can play a prominent role because they have the potential to reconnect disparate groups around new shared community identities. Research addressing Patronage, elites and power relations has produced a range of findings. First under Resilient elite networks in civil society: Interview data is clearly identifying the presence of elite networks within Wales, and in respect to the hierarchy and governance of Welsh civil society institutions more broadly. Within those organizations we have engaged with it is apparent that it these continue to be skewed towards professional occupations and, to a greater extent, influenced by family and/or educational backgrounds. This correlates with a wider critical re-engagement with elites in sociological research as evidenced by, for example, the establishment of a BSA Sociology of Elites Study Group which members of the current project team have been involved in. This research underscores an ongoing commitment to notions of service and consistence reference to the importance of Welsh identity. Second under Elites in rural society: We have established and developed a strong working relationship with the Royal Welsh Agricultural Society. As an established and politically important umbrella organization for agricultural interests and rural affairs, our data indicates that an established network of civic-minded actors continue play an ongoing role in maintaining the organization and - in particular - the Royal Welsh Show. Here family ties and social capital are interlinked, and there are strong ties with professional and business actors. Third under Diversity and representation - the organizations we have engaged with are collectively concerned with the profile of their hierarchy and management structure and, in some cases, grappling with sustainability issues. As such, ethnicity and gender are key themes, alongside the issue of ageing cohorts in senior positions. Many organizations have discussed the need to for wider buy-in, for meaningful appointments, the need for more robust recruitment pathways and better training/support mechanisms to facilitate this. Fourth under Social Networks, organizational hierarchies, and key actors: Our data demonstrates an elevated level of interconnection between senior patrons in those civil society organizations surveyed (including the Race Council Cymru, the Wales Council for Voluntary Action and the Learned Society of Wales) and a wider tranche of cs institutions in Wales and beyond. There is an apparent urban/rural divide in terms of governance and stakeholders, with the RWAS sitting at the centre of a tightknit and less interconnected constellation of farming and agricultural institutions. Research addressing Shifting forms of governance and the grassroots politics of separatism has revealed the complex and shifting ways in which citizens think and feel about secession. The findings challenge some key assumptions in the extant scholarly literature, such as the claim that attitudes towards independence are primarily driven by individuals' national identities; our work shows that the 'national' categories used in survey research (such as 'Welsh') hide multiple interpretations of what these national identities mean in different places, and these identities are not always the principle drivers of attitudes towards secession. Our findings also point to relevant factors that survey data cannot capture, such as the impact on attitudes of the different trajectories of secession processes over time. The research also points to innovative methodologies for starting conversations about complex and difficult issues: The WP has used photovoice to help individuals reflect on what they think and feel about secession; the resultant photographs have been displayed at exhibitions across the case study locations (Aberystwyth, Caernarfon, Rhondda, Cardiff and Barcelona) as a means of engaging the wider public with the topic. Both methodologies have been evaluated on an on-going basis through interviews and questionnaires, and the findings evidence the value of creative approaches to engaging citizens with complex and often divisive political issues.

Research addressing the mixed economy of welfare approaches to domiciliary social care for adults in a devolved UK found that in all 4 UK nations an implementation gap between the political ambition for an effective mixed economy of welfare approach to domiciliary social care for adults that enables a significant role for the third sector on the one hand - and the day-to-day realities on the other. In the Welsh case - there is evidence of institutional failures and governance shortcomings that are hampering mixed economy of welfare domiciliary social care for adults (inter alia - overly complex and overlapping governance structures that undermine trust, transparency, and service efficacy). We also found evidence of Data shortcomings and planning issues; mixed economy approaches in the 4 nations are predicated on the existence of appropriate NGOs to deliver services - yet often local authorities lack required information on the numbers of such organisations and their characteristics such as size and capacity. This is particularly an issue in rural areas. There is evidence that risk adverse commissioning of third sector social care provision is a characteristic of contemporary practice. This exacerbates inequalities between CSOs, notable the larger and smaller organisations - with commissioners favouring the larger providers (seen as a more robust/ resilient) compared to smaller, local providers). We found third sector interviewees and other stakeholders alluded (directly or indirectly) to definitional issues related to the idea of "Voluntary - or "third" - sector social care provision. In short, many of those that are commissioned to deliver services may have aspects of voluntarism - but for the core business of house visits to deliver social care they employ staff (begging the question - "to what extent are these really third sector organisations"?). Findings also point to policy on domiciliary social care for adults in today's devolved UK being characterised by the territorialisation of welfare rights. This refers to different rights and entitlements in the different nations. Generally speaking, Left-of-centre governments in Wales and Scotland espouse a less commodified system of domiciliary social care for adults when compared to England's more market-oriented policies involving the private sector. Furthermore, the multi-level governance approach in a devolved UK presents opportunities for policy learning and policy transfer between polities. This was not possible in such a way prior to 1998/9. Our data point to shortcomings in the regulation of the duty on local authorities to promote third sector social care provision as set out in the Social Services and Well-being (Wales) Act 2016. At the time of the study, it was not always clear how the duty was enforced and what sanctions applied for breaches of the duty. Although often overlooked, attention to this formative phase of social policy-making - specifically, pledges to adult social care (ASC) in political parties' manifesto discourse following the United Kingdom's move to a multi-level electoral politics in 1998/1999 reveals the discursive political antecedents of welfare interventions. There has been a major increase in issue-salience and party politicisation of ASC policy. The discourse reveals political cleavages on welfare mixes and policy framing, and sub-state resistance to central government policies. Against the backdrop of the international rise of devolved governance, this is of wider international significance because it illustrates how the transition from state-wide to (quasi-)federal electoral practices gives rise to new territorial dynamics in the electoral discourse of welfare provision; in turn, promoting territorialisation, pressure for welfare state expansion and the rise of 'sub-state' welfare regimes. Our analysis of policy actors' views on their effectiveness of the different territorial welfare mixes on adult social care in the four nations of the UK during the pandemic highlight how the pandemic exposed existing pathologies and the need for reform in all four systems. Notably, the analysis shows how the present market-based tendering systems for allocating ASC contracts undermine inter-personal and institutional trust and compromise care quality. The wider significance of this lies in showing the pivotal role of trust during the emergency and that post-pandemic welfare reform needs to embed trust-building measures to deliver effective care. In Wales, our analysis of policy actors' views and experiences in delivering care during the pandemic highlighted the value of pre-existing institutional structures promoting partnership working between government and the third sector - as well as longstanding practices of co-working between the sectors. This contrasted with views in relation to England. Our analysis of political parties' formative policy record on refugees' and asylum seekers' welfare in party manifestos for state-wide and meso-elections in the UK, 1964-2019 confirms relational contrasts in issue-prioritization and the framing of pledges - between parties and across polities. The wider significance of this lies in underlining the need to examine the formative, electoral phase of refugee and asylum-seeker policymaking; and showing how the move to a multi-level electoral system combines with regional party politics to drive the territorialization of RAS welfare in federal and union states. Our research has produced findings of relevance to theory-building. The international trend of state restructuring and the rise of decentralized welfare systems means a key challenge for social research is to systematically explore the breadth of factors shaping the territorialization of third sector welfare delivery at the meso level in federal and union states. Our findings are based on a synthesis of historical-institutionalism and critical realism with Salamon and Anheier's classic framework on civic infrastructure development to produce an inductive analytical model for wider empirical testing.
Research addressing the Territorialisation of Human Rights has found that with respect to the implementation of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD) in India, Persons with Disabilities continue to experience rights-denial, and institutional ableism resulting in barriers to shaping policy and accessing social welfare. These are real challenges owing to their systemic nature. Crucially, they relate to the public policy-making process itself and stem from a failure on the part of successive post-2007 governments to put in place a comprehensive strategy for implementing the CRPD. In turn, this is indicative of an ongoing disconnect between state and civil spheres that hampers effective implementation and explains the endurance of the Medical Model of Disability across the country. Our study of civil society organizations' (CSOs) views on the contemporary situation of LGBT+ people in Bangladesh addressed a lacuna requiring attention because of the country's poor and deteriorating equality and human rights record. We analysed the level of attention to prevailing human rights violations and applied critical frame analysis to the corpus of CSOs' submissions to the United Nations third cycle Universal Periodic Review (UPR), 2013-2018. The analysis revealed how a series of key pathologies-including, violence, intimidation, and discrimination-affect the lives of LGBT+ people. The wider significance of this study lies in highlighting that, while not a replacement for justiciable rights, the discursive processes offered by civil society input to the UPR are of key significance in seeking to advance LGBT+ rights in countries like Bangladesh where oppression combines with extremism and political elites' refusal to embrace equality in relation to gender identity and sexual orientation. In relation to data on India, our findings reveal CSOs' concerns over the weakening of rule of law institutions and restrictions on civil society during the period under study. This has impacted upon the ability of individual actors to protect religious freedom. The civil society discourse also highlights a broad range of failings, including communal violence, police malpractice/ judicial shortcomings, discrimination, oppression, and incitement. In contrast, the Government's UPR submission fails to acknowledge these issues. In conceptual terms, this disconnect suggests performativity and legitimation are a feature of the post-2014 NDA administration's framing of human rights. It appears to embrace civil society engagement and the promotion of religious freedom in a way that advances political legitimacy, whereas civil society accounts suggest otherwise and point to 'legitimation' - or a disjuncture between rhetoric and reality.
Our analysis of rights and the crisis facing an estimated more than one million Rohingya people, a Muslim minority group that has fled persecution in the Rakhine state, shows how Rohingya refugees are subject to inhuman treatment, oppression, and rights denial. Thus, we provide new insights into a range of issues associated with the crisis including gender-based oppression and discrimination; legal and international treaty failings; suppression of civil society and intimidation of human rights defenders; the negative impact on local, indigenous people and a growing environmental disaster. From an epistemological perspective, this new account shows how the 'situated knowledge' of CSOs' discourse has much to offer in understanding current challenges and finding paths to resolution.

Our analysis of civil society organisations' (CSOs) views on how the UK, Welsh, Scottish and Northern Ireland governments are responding to their international human rights treaty obligations in the formulation and delivery of social policy show a raft of shortcomings including a poor monitoring and enforcement, gaps in social protection and discrimination. The original contribution this study is threefold: 1. revealing the nature of prevailing rights violations in the UK; 2. outlining the territorial narratives and contrasts between jurisdictions in the wake of devolution; and 3. showing how the systemic nature of rights violations can be conceptualised using Hogwood and Peters' theory of public policy making pathologies.

Our study of Civil Society and Citizenship in India and Bangladesh presents new multidisciplinary research, exploring the opportunities and challenges facing civil society in today's India and Bangladesh and contributes to theory-building on the form, functioning and democratic role of civil society in the 21st century. It charters widespread gender oppression in its analysis of Civil Society, Gender and Citizenship Rights.

Our research presents the first pan-regional analysis of civil society organizations' perspectives on the human rights situation of LGBT + people in Caribbean Community (CARICOM) countries. Paradoxically, whilst UN treaties extend anti-discrimination rights to LGBT + people in most member countries, simultaneously, colonial-era legislation makes intimate same sex relations unlawful. Our research details how governments' failure to reform the law is often based on public opposition grounded in religious conservatism. Moreover, the endurance of anti-LGBT + colonial era legislation is shown to underpin a raft of rights pathologies and reinforce prejudice and negative social attitudes. The principal rights breaches stem from systemic institutional discrimination, and include violence, hate crimes and harassment; police malpractice and denial of justice; as well as failings in healthcare and social protection. Analysis of framing in the civil society UPR corpus reveals the personal impacts of on LGBT + people, including criminalization, victimization, stigma, fear, and lack of self-worth.

Our analysis of civil society organisations' discourse on children's rights in the Occupied Palestinian Territories (OPT) underlines how it is a troubled context, for Israel - the 'State Party' to the United Nation's Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC), disputes that its obligations extend to the OPT. In consequence, there has been a dearth of official data and scholarly attention to the situation. Our analysis shows how children are affected by a raft of violations including: sexual abuse, violence and inadequate access to health and education. We reflect on the Israeli state's engagement with United Nations human rights monitoring and conclude that, whilst denying responsibility for the OPT, Israeli practice raises profound questions about legitimation and performativity. The widespread human rights pathologies we identify are compounded by state repression of civil society

In response to international concerns about ongoing rights violations, this aspect of our research presents a comparative analysis of state and civil society organisations' discourse on the early phase implementation of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (PWD) in the Commonwealth of Independent States. The findings show that PWD continue to experience rights-denial and barriers to shaping policy and accessing social welfare. There is a 'disconnect' between state and civil spheres that hampers effective implementation and explains the endurance of the medical model of disability across the post-Soviet space.

Our analysis of state and civil society organizations' (CSOs) perspectives on the contemporary situation of human rights defenders (HRD) in South Asia finds that while the governments espouse the promotion of HRDs' rights in a way that advances governments' political legitimacy on the international stage there are issues of performativity and legitimation. We reveal how HRDs face a raft of rights violations, including threats, violence and murder. Their work is being curtailed by increasing state restrictions on freedom of association and expression. The malaise is compounded by impunity for offenders, corrupt practices and governments' failure to respond to earlier UPR recommendations. The analysis shows a strong gendered dimension to HRD oppression with women HRDs particularly vulnerable to all types of violation. These findings underline the extension to South Asia of what international analysis elsewhere has dubbed a 'counter-associational revolution', or the rise, spread and contagion of restrictive legislation. This threat to democracy in the region shows that key reforms are urgently required, including measures to ensure the justiciability of the UN Declaration on HRD.

Our research also examines Cambodia's implementation of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC). Corpus analysis of civil society organisations' submissions to the United Nations Universal Periodic Review reveals a raft of CRC violations, including sexual abuse, trafficking and child labour. This is due to political and bureaucratic failings. The wider significance of this lies in underlining how the disjuncture between state and civil society underpins ongoing violations. Future progress depends on strengthened mobilisation yet increasing repression of civil society makes this unlikely. Accordingly, the prospects are bleak with children in Cambodia continuing to suffer widespread rights violations.

We also undertook the first pan-regional analysis of civil society organizations' perspectives on the contemporary situation of human rights defenders (HRDs) in the Commonwealth of Independent States. Our work reveals a shrinking civil space as HRDs face a raft of rights pathologies, including threats, violence and murder. Their work is curtailed by increasing state restrictions on freedom of association and expression. The analysis reveals how women HRDs are particularly subject to discrimination and gender-based oppression. The malaise is compounded by impunity for offenders, corruption and government inaction following earlier UPR recommendations. Furthermore we undertook pan-regional analysis of non-governmental organisations' (NGO) perspectives on the contemporary factors which constrain or repress civil society in the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN). It shows that, paradoxically, whilst the majority of ASEAN states have ratified the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR) that upholds civil society's political role in promoting rights and democracy, this is inimical to the region's political elites who regard civil society's primary function as non-political delivery of social welfare and development. This disjuncture results in repression, performativity, and legitimation. The UPR data reveal an ever-shrinking civil space. Civil society, including human rights defenders (HRD s), faces a raft of rights pathologies, including threats, violence and murder-as well as increasing state restrictions on freedom of association and expression. This is compounded by impunity for offenders, corruption, and government inaction following earlier UPR recommendations.


Our research on Civil Society and Animal Rights explores the party politicization of animal welfare in the context of multi-level governance in the UK. It examines over 1300 pledges in party manifestos for Scottish, Welsh, and Northern Irish elections 1998-2017. It reveals the nature of party competition, including increasing salience over electoral cycles. This is complemented by examination of the party dynamics in two sub-fields: wildlife protection and farm animal welfare. The wider significance of this study lies in showing how the move to multi-level electoral politics provides new political spaces to advance animal welfare and how meso-ballots are increasingly attuned to the symbiosis of humans and animals. These factors are driving the territorialization of policy and leading to distinctive animal welfare regimes in the different countries of the UK. In addition, partisan theory reveals how the electoral politics of animal welfare varies between sub-fields and is shaped by parties' relationships with different policy communities. Whilst extant cross-cultural research on animal welfare often overlooks or gives insufficient attention to new governance theory, civil society, politics, and the realities of devolved or (quasi-)federal, multi-level governance in the modern state, this study synthesizes relevant social theory and draws on new empirical findings of civil society accounts of campaigning on animal welfare policies and law in the United Kingdom. It is presented as a corrective to arguably reductive, earlier unitary state-based analyses. Our core, evidence-based argument is that cognizance of civil society activism and the contrasting institutional governance structures and political cultures of constituent nations in unitary states-such as the UK-are providing opportunities for the territorialization of legally grounded animal welfare regimes, and culturally distinctive practices. Our analysis of political parties' manifesto pledges on animal welfare tells us about contemporary political thinking on the relationship between humans and non-humans, evolving notions of sentience, and how these are related to structures and processes of democratic governance. The UK's move to multi-level electoral politics provides new political spaces to advance animal welfare. Our analysis shows how meso-ballots are increasingly attuned to the symbiosis of humans and animals. This is driving the territorialization of policy and leading to distinctive animal welfare regimes in the different countries of the UK. Our analysis of the 2021 Welsh and Scottish Parliament elections underlines how animal welfare policy is grounded in the formal representational structures and processes of contemporary democracies and the dynamic relationship between political actors, parties, civil society, and government. Our analysis tells us that animal welfare has become a mainstream political issue in parties' electoral competition. Intra-party divergence on animal welfare is also notable. This refers to 'state-wide' parties (that is, parties that operate across the UK or GB) holding different policy positions on animal welfare in the different nations. The devolved governments' policy consultations in Wales and Scotland provide further opportunities for the territorial policy lobbies of civil society organizations to shape the evolving animal welfare regimes. Our research confirms the importance of devolution to civil society advocacy of animal welfare. It reveals increasing policy divergence and the territorialization of animal welfare regimes with distinctive laws and policies in Wales and Scotland. Compared to Westminster, civil society activists point to the devolved political spaces as being more structurally allowing and responsive to their claims. This corresponds to what social movements theory calls "political opportunity structures". In addition, our findings show how CSOs' lobbying for policy transfer means that gains (in the form of new laws and policies) in one devolved jurisdiction may subsequently be used in campaigning for similar reforms elsewhere. A further consequence of devolution is that improvements in welfare can take place in one jurisdiction whilst being resisted in others (e.g., the use of snares banned in Wales but lawful in England, and stricter regulation of the release of game birds in Wales). There is also evidence of cross-party working on animal welfare at the devolved level. Our findings suggest multi-level-or devolved-governance in the UK has generally been beneficial to animal welfare, for it presents opportunities for innovation and, through the process of policy transfer, may lead to a process of 'levelling-up' of welfare standards.

An exploratory case study has examined party politicisation in UK state-wide elections. The findings point to a transformative and sustained shift founded on increasing politicisation over successive election-cycles. The main parties are shown to have moved from their earlier stance of issue-accommodation. This has led to inter-party convergence and preference-shaping, adversarial strategies that move closer to Green Party positions on the environmental dimension. This is most striking in the case of the main, right-of-centre party. These benchmark findings underline the need for further related enquiry in other liberal democracies to determine whether they are part of wider trend whereby the electoral politics of wildlife protection has moved from the realm of low to high politics - or niche to mainstream. A further exploration of the substantive representation of non-human species in parliamentary business by applying Leston-Bandeira's Legislative Functions Perspective (LFP) to a dataset of 2,500 public petitions on animal welfare, submitted over three terms of the UK parliament points to (a) the utility of the LFP to petitions analysis; (b) whilst few directly secure policy change, e-petitions perform valuable legislative functions including campaigning, scrutiny and policy-influencing roles; foremost of which is linkage and fostering citizen engagement in parliamentary business. And (c). how, over the past decade, public petitions have significantly contributed to the increasing salience of animal welfare in UK politics.


Research addressing Civil Society and Artificial Intelligence shows (a) Civil society input is needed for democratic oversight/ accountability of A.I. (b) Civil society's role in safeguarding fundamental rights. (c) CS role essential to promoting equalities. (d) Civil society involvement in A.I. use and regulation in the EU is essential to building trust. (e) our analysis shows that despite EC aspiration of governance "ecosystem" regulating A.I. civil society voices had been marginalised in developing the draft legislation (f) CSOs' Need for capacity building for meet the challenges of AI.

With respect to research addressing the views/ concerns/ demands of civil society organisations (CSOs) in the subsequent EC public consultation on the draft Artificial Intelligence Act our findings tell us that: The impact of A.I. and way it regulated in EU and beyond having potentially profound impact on civil society - including activism, privacy, rights and freedom and social policy and welfare (e.g., healthcare, policing etc.). A.I. has an Increasing influence on civil society's democratic role + potential threat to fundamental rights and freedoms. In conceptual terms - it tells us we have to broaden our conceptual thinking around the concept of "civil Society" to incorporate the impact of non-human intelligence and its impact on associative life. Civil society responses are about shifting power relations - notably between citizens + civil society on one hand and the state + corporations on the other. Civil society responses are explicit about A.I.'s impact on trust + need for accountability and transparency. Civil society needs to be at the heart of shaping the regulation of A.I. use in Europe and beyond. To date civil society could have/ should have had a stronger role in development of EU regulatory framework - in part, their testimony alludes to some feelings of marginalisation in the process. NGOs are calling for more support in engaging with the nascent regulatory framework in the EU.

From our work on the Operationalising Labour Rights Project in India, our findings not only provide reliable evidence of a range of violations but also afford a window on the social relations of the factory floor - normally a closed arena to independent external scrutiny.
Our method and findings are currently the focus of considerable interest from third sector / civil society organisations who are themselves seeking to move towards worker-centric methods of auditing in the global supply chain. We replicated our method for work with the Clean Clothes Campaign into occupational safety and health for garment workers in Pakistan.

While there may not at first sight be a direct link between our international work and our work on trade union organisation in Wales, many of the same issues emerge - low levels of representation, low levels of enforcement of employment rights and relatively high levels of low paid work. The recent WTUC Commission Report on Standards of Work and Devolution in Wales, led by Jean Jenkins with input from Rhys Davies, Alan Felstead, Helen Blakely and Dan Evans, highlights collective organisation and weak enforcement of policy as a prime concern for working standards. This has sparked renewed focus on labour inspection and mechanisms of enforcement in Wales.
The paper 'The Persistence of Union Membership within the Coalfields of Britain" (Huw Beynon, Alex Bryson, Helen Blakely and Rhys Davies) published in the British Journal of Industrial Relations empirically established that the propensity to join trade unions remains higher within ex-coalmining areas and that this effect diminishes sharply with respect to distance from these areas. The paper therefore establishes that trade union membership, an important aspect of job quality, needs to be explored at a sub-regional level. In March 2023, this was paper was recognised by the publishers (Wiley) as being amongst the top ten articles downloaded in 2022.

The study 'Can cooperatives/employee-owned businesses improve 'bad' jobs? Evaluating job quality in three low-paid sectors', (Will Chivers and Sarah Jenkins) also published in the BJIR, examined how job quality is impacted by different organisation forms - specifically cooperatives and employee-owned businesses. Case study evidence revealed that cooperatives/EOBs can make bad jobs better but that the depth and degree of ownership matters. Employee ownership and control can improve job quality even within sectors traditionally characterised by 'bad' jobs, including taxi's, community care and packing.

The paper Rights without remedy: the disconnection of labour across multiple scales and domains examines the disconnection between promises of labour rights made at the international level and their inaccessibility to workers at the local level. Going beyond the concept of a global 'governance gap', it draws on a political economy perspective and focuses on the intersecting and competing roles of different forms of capital and the state, in curtailing workers' paths to remedy in the global apparel (garment) value chain.

Description WISERD is building on the work undertaken under ES/L009099/1 to extend and deepen the impact it has already achieved and to create new forms of impact through its current programme of research. These are still early days for the workpackages under ES/S012435/1 to produce specific impact narratives but the Centre as a whole has achieved instrumental, conceptual and capacity building impact in the following areas: Outputs, Outcomes, Impact Covid 19: In agreement with the ESRC, WISERD adapted and repurposed its research to focus on the impacts of Covid-19 across a range of fields including civil society, education, labour markets, health and social care and geographical inequalities. Outputs - see WISERD Covid-19 report: policy responses and social consequences as well as a series of academic papers highlighting the impact of Covid in particular areas relevant to WISERD's research programme. Outcomes - providing written evidence to government, representation on govt committees and working with a range of policy actors. Impact - this body of work has had substantial impact on social and economic policy initiatives in Wales as well as public service provision. For example WISERD researchers have developed a corpus of research on trust, human rights, welfare and the third sector and evidence provided by the research team was used to inform a 2021 report and recommendations by the Senedd (Welsh Parliament) Equality, Local Government and Communities Committee on the Impact of Covid-19 on the voluntary sector. Children and Schools: Understanding the impact of COVID-19 on children is one of the most important issues researchers and policy-makers currently face. WISERD research has been repurposed to examine the impact of lockdown on learning and attendance and well-being. Outputs - WISERD has produced a series of infographic postcards to provide an accessible summary of the findings for professionals and other key stakeholders. Impact - this research has received significant media coverage and is providing evidence to inform Welsh Government policy on access to education during and beyond the Covid crisis. The Foundational Economy: WISERD's work on the Foundational Economy has informed a growing body of research and engagement. Outputs - a growing range of books, academic papers and blogs on empirical research undertaken across key foundational sectors at micro- meso and macro scales. Outcomes - WISERD has supported a Wales Foundational Economy Network that brings together interested parties across Wales including academics, think tanks, housing associations, environmental groups and community organisations. Impact - these activities have influenced Welsh Government thinking in this area leading in 2019 to the Welsh Government committing £4.5 to a Foundational Economy Challenge Fund to support a series of experimental projects to test how to best support the foundational economy and which Government interventions work best and a further tranche of £3m in funding was announced in January 2021. The network has developed into a limited company Foundational Economy Ltd and a membership organisation Foundational Alliance Wales - both of which continue to be partners with WISERD on events and policy engagement. Spatial Inequalities: A now large body of work has been undertaken on spatial inequalities and advanced GIS methods. Outputs: Series of academic papers, presentations, reports and blogs applying these advanced methods to specific issues form access to financial services, transport, disability and care. Outcomes - various forms of engagement Welsh government, Senedd, third sector and charities. Impact - research in collaboration with Tenovus Cancer Care is helping to ensure the provision of cancer treatment closer to patients' homes by extending the reach of mobile services. This work will allow Tenovus to treat patients closer to home, extend the reach of services, and help reduce the stress, anxiety and fatigue to the patient. Professor Gary Higgs received a USW Impact Award for this research. Data and open social science: The WISERD data portal and data integration programme is now well established and is making new data available to a wider community of interests. Outputs - Papers, reports and blogs on the data available and how to make use of it. Outcomes - a partnership with the Institute of Welsh Affairs and the Carnegie UK Trust together with funding from the Wales Innovation Network has led to an update and expansion to Understanding Welsh Places which is a bilingual website that presents information on the economy, demographic make-up and local services of more than 300 places in Wales in a quick and easy format. Impact - this was welcomed by the Welsh Government as an important resource for their Transforming Towns Agenda, by the IWA as a means of tracking the impact of Covid on local communities and by the Carnegie Trust as a means for local communities to renew the social, environmental and economic fabric of their neighbourhoods. Heritage and Policy Research: Outputs - series of papers on historiography of civil society organisations in Wales. Outcomes - Work in partnership with the Wales Council for Voluntary Organisations (WCVA) and The National Library of Wales has created a historically significant digital archive of the Annual Reports of WCVA and its predecessor organisations. Impact - WISERD has made this resource publicly and freely available for academic researchers and publics. The research concerned with inequities in public transport provision has been described in a Senedd Research article (7th December 2023) and in the Climate Change, Environment, and Infrastructure Committee Scrutiny of the Welsh Government Draft Budget (2024-25) Report (February 2024). The importance of this research was highlighted by the chair of the committee (Delyth Jewell, MS) in a letter to the Deputy Minister, Lee Waters MS, drawing attention to the potential of this in on-going developments surrounding the bus franchising model in Wales. Requested by the WCVA Paul Chaney has written a summary of contemporary research on civil society and welfare - with a literature review and recommendations that was adopted in the WCVA's strategic Plan. This was followed by a joint (with WCVA) ministerial briefing paper for Welsh Government on the effectiveness of the Social Services and Well-being (Wales) Act. From our work on the Operationalising Labour Rights Project in India, our findings not only provide reliable evidence of a range of violations but also afford a window on the social relations of the factory floor - normally a closed arena to independent external scrutiny. Our work was picked up by the UN office for Human Rights in relation to the third phase of the UNCHR research into Accountability and Remedy project (ARP III). Access to Remedy is one of the three pillars of the Protect, Respect, Remedy framework underpinning the UN Guiding principles. We were able to assist the project in accessing workers and activist testimony, they also relied on our findings in developing their understanding of what access to remedy involves at workplace level. At a workshop in Sri Lanka in October 2023 The UN team presented confirmed and explained how their work on ARPIII was influenced by our input. Our report on Workers' lives at risk: how brands profit from unsafe factory work in Pakistan has supported successful lobbying activities in the industry. The International Accord is now a binding, tripartite due diligence mechanism to govern occupational health and safety in Pakistan. Research involving IAA funding plus subsequent GCRF funding was also undertaken in collaboration with the Clean Clothes Campaign (CCC). This work involved the creation of a database to support the CCC Urgent Appeals mechanism. The UA mechanism operates on similar lines to urgent appeals mechanisms employed by organisations such as Amnesty International. The urgent appeal originates from the grass roots and (if approved) it is taken up by CCC as a brand facing campaign. In a context where resources are perennially stretched to the maximum, our work has allowed for the analysis of UA data on workplace conditions to be taken to another level and connected with international campaigning on supply chain violations. The material itself is highly confidential and all work is done in our secure unit. The findings of the WTUC Commission Report on Standards of Work and Devolution (published in January 2024 and led by Jean Jenkins) have already been referenced in the Senedd and some of the recommendations are reflected in the manifestos of the two current candidates for the role of First Minister. The WISERD interactive web service (UnionMaps) which allows researchers and the public to access data on union membership for local areas across Great Britain has been refreshed to incorporate new data on the coverage of collective pay agreements and to allow users to explore changes over time. The resource has been showcased by the British Universities Industrial Relations Association (BUIRA) and by the Economic Statistics Centre of Excellence (ESCoE) that showcased both state of the art theory and recent empirical applications of Small Area Estimation. The website and wider research has been showcased as a Data Impact Case Study published by the UK Data Service Impact and Innovation Lab in 2020. WISERD data infrastructure is building impact through providing opportunities for further collaborative research endeavours and for open data allowing private, third sector, civil society and government ii. Community Asset Mapping with Together for Change (local and national) actors to use WISERD data in collaborative research and policy making. Examples include Understanding Welsh Places, the WISERD data portal, WISERD connectivity and accessibility research. The later has developed out of several different projects and work with several external stakeholders (e.g. Transport for Wales, Welsh Government, ONS, Disability Wales, Sustrans, GWR).

Description [2021-09-16 to 2021-09-17] Berry, R. TCB Event: Automating map production in QGIS. Online
Geographic Reach National 
Policy Influence Type Influenced training of practitioners or researchers
Impact Participants learnt how to automatically generate a batch of multiple maps from a single map layout template in QGIS, using the QGIS Atlas tool. Anyone who uses QGIS to produce maps is likely to have the need to create a series of maps of the same theme for multiple regions / points of interest. The 'manual' way of approaching this is to set-up a different map design template (QGIS Print Layout) for each geographical feature (e.g. region or point) in the database, but this can be a time-consuming and error-prone process, and multiple maps cannot be easily updated if changes to the design are required. The Atlas-based method requires only one map layout per theme, which has major advantages for improving the speed and quality of map production in certain circumstances - is it not always the optimal solution, and the limitations of this approach were highlighted during the session. Participants were able to work on two different case studies to develop their map automation skills using QGIS Atlas: firstly Basic topographic mapping of multiple regions (e.g. parishes, districts) and secondly Automation of socio-economic data mapping at local authority level (e.g. Index of Multiple Deprivation). By the end of the course participants had the skills and knowledge to be able to automate the production of maps in QGIS using their own data. This event was delivered by Dr. Robert Berry, Countryside and Community Research Institute, University of Gloucestershire.

Geographic Reach Local/Municipal/Regional 
Policy Influence Type Influenced training of practitioners or researchers
Impact This two-half day online training event is led by Dr Diarmuid McDonnell, University of the West of Scotland. It was aimed at researchers and analysts from any disciplinary background interested in employing network analysis for social science research purposes. Vast swathes of our social interactions and personal behaviours are now conducted online and/or captured digitally. Thus, computational methods for collecting, cleaning and analysing data are an increasingly important component of a social scientist's toolkit. Social Network Analysis (SNA) offers a rich and insightful methodological approach for uncovering and understanding social structures, relations and networks of association. This training series introduces participants to core concepts, data structures, and methods of analysis associated with SNA. The training consists of a mix of lectures, coding demonstrations, practical exercises, and group discussions. The training is suitable for individuals new to SNA and looking to gain a good grounding in the fundamentals of this methodology.

PI Contribution As part of this collaboration, Samuel Jones is responsible for providing expertise to the Senedd in both utilising and analysing geographical information - increasing Senedd Research's capacity to produce outputs and to respond to Member and Committee enquiries/inquiries which have a geographical context. He also has the responsibility for maintaining the Senedd's geographic datasets and GIS software and assisting with other areas of work, such as manipulating large datasets and web scraping.
Collaborator Contribution Collaborating with colleagues in Senedd Research gives WISERD access to experts working across a variety of policy-relevant subject areas in Wales, including health and social policy, education and lifelong learning, environment and transport, the economy, communities and local government, and external and constitutional affairs, as well as the statisticians and data analysts in the finance and statistics team. Working alongside these experts offers both formal and informal opportunities for their knowledge to feed into WISERD's research, either directly or indirectly. The Senedd also provides a clear pathway to impact for WISERD's research. For example, by offering access to policymakers through the Senedd's Committees, which are responsible for scrutinising Welsh Government, or by offering possibilities to publish work through Senedd Research's blog, which has a high level of readership amongst policymakers, professional practitioners and the general public, particularly in Wales. As well as access to expertise and policymakers, the Senedd also provides access to datasets which WISERD would not otherwise have access to.
Impact Key outcomes of this collaboration have included an academic fellowship which applied GIS techniques developed as part of WISERD's research to investigate changing access to banking services in Wales. This fed into the Senedd's Business Committee's work on changes to banking provision in Wales and was presented to the Committee as well as published in a Senedd Research blog. Other impact have included contributions from a data and analysis perspective to a range of Member enquiries, to the development of the Find My Member of the Senedd website tool, to the Youth Parliament project, and as part of Citizen Engagement consultations.

PI Contribution The research undertaken as a result of this Fellowship, which was established as a part of Senedd Cymru's Academic Fellowship programme, looked to further inform research undertaken by Senedd Cymru's Economy Infrastructure and Skills Committee on access to banking services in Wales. More specifically, the Fellowship examined the potential impacts of on-going changes to financial services provision on local communities across Wales. Use was made of sophisticated spatial analysis techniques to better understand current patterns of financial services provision, the changes in provision over time (between 2008 and 2018) and the impact this has on key population groups (such as the elderly). It also evaluated which areas and their occupants could potentially be most impacted by any future reductions in physical banking infrastructure.
Collaborator Contribution The Research Service at Senedd Cymru helped steer this research, ensuring that the research focused on areas that were of interest to Senedd Cymru's Economy, Infrastructure and Skills Committee, and helping to guide outputs.
Impact The results of this partnership included the publication of a journal article, a research report and articles on the WISERD and Senedd Research blogs.

Impact Following the work undertaken as a result of this collaboration, the Building Communities Trust wrote: 'In Autumn 2021 Building Communities Trust approached WISERD for help identifying data to inform a quantitative research project being delivered in partnership with the British Red Cross exploring the impact a lack of civic and community assets has in poorer communities across Wales. WISERD very kindly shared data relating to education, health, business, and the charity sector from their Understanding Welsh Places project. Access to these data sets has proven to be a valuable addition adding to the breadth, depth and robustness of our research aimed at improving policy and funding to those communities in Wales who most need it.' We are still awaiting the publication of their findings.

Title [2020] Orford, S., Jones, S. and Dickson, C. Understanding Welsh Places 2.0 (UWP2) 
Description Understanding Welsh Places is a web application designed to be the first point of call for statistical information about towns and communities in Wales. Carnegie UK Trust and the Institute of Welsh Affairs worked with representatives from the public, private and third sectors to develop a plan for the website, which was first released in October 2019 and included data on 300 places in Wales. In 2020, the second version of the web application was released - UWP2. WISERD further developed the site by adding new variables for each place, including on access to services, access to green space, broadband availability, numbers of public toilets, numbers of generative businesses and mental health statistics. Centre for Local Economic Strategies (CLES) used these new variables to refresh the inter-relationship classification of places. WISERD also added new Population Flow maps, displaying data on migrations and daily trips within Wales and across the border to England. The Neighbourhood Maps section was also updated to include the new data described above, allowing users to view the small area variations within the datasets at their place of interest. 
Type Of Technology Webtool/Application 
Year Produced 2020 
Impact The launch was accompanied by a number of a number of blogs and news articles written by project partners. It was also covered in Post Cyntaf on BBC Radio Cymru. Following the launch we received a number of requests for further collaboration from organisations such as Mind, Audit Wales, Building Communities Trust and Oxford Consultants for Social Inclusion (OCSI). More generally, between 1st January 2020 and 31st December 2020 the web application had 4,570 users, an average of 381 per month and 13 per day.

Carnegie UK Trust and the Institute of Welsh Affairs worked with representatives from the public, private and third sectors to develop a plan for the website, which was first released in October 2019 and included data on 300 places in Wales. In 2020, the second version of the web application was released - UWP2, and this was updated further in December 2021. The 2021 update features improvements to the flow maps to improve clarity, including adding more flow data for smaller places and more detailed summary descriptions in the pop-up boxes; the addition of commuting flow data between Wales and England; the addition of graphical summaries of total commuting flows and total migration flows into and out of selected places categorised by Welsh and English local authorities; and, an update of daily flows (trips) to include classification by mode of transport and more detailed classification of time of day. We have also added a new section on Connectivity, including data on: travel distance and travel time maps by private transport and maps and metrics on accessibility to railway stations for each place. The latter includes data on average daily passenger numbers and the train routes and lines a station serves. 
Type Of Technology Webtool/Application 
Year Produced 2021 
Impact UWP 2.1 was launched at the start of 2022, and there has been no known impacts yet. However, more generally, the web application had 6,751 users between January 1st 2021 and December 31st 2021, an average of 563 a month and 18 per day, an increase in usage on last year's figures.

Title [2022] Davies, R., Bryson, A. and Jones, S. UnionMaps: 2022 Update 
Description This is the 2022 update to the UnionMaps web application, originally released in September 2019. UnionMaps presents estimates of trade union membership and the coverage of collective pay agreements for detailed geographical areas. The figures relating to union membership are derived from the Labour Force Survey, the main source of data used in the production of official statistics for union membership within the UK. Information relating to collective pay agreements is derived from the Annual Survey of Hours and Earnings. As well as an update to the existing metrics, this version saw the addition of metrics showing change in union density over time as well as the inclusion of results of multivariate analysis. 
Type Of Technology Webtool/Application 
Year Produced 2022 
Impact The launch of the 2022 refresh was promoted by the British Universities Industrial Relations Association (BUIRA), one pf the largest academic associations in the UK aimed at promoting the study of employment relations across relevant academic disciplines. Data reveals that the site had over 1000 visits in the last 12 months.

Title [2022] Price, A., Langford, M. and Higgs, G. Multi-Modal Access to Services in Wales 
Description This is a prototype website, developed to examine access to key services in Wales. The website allows users to see indicators of accessibility to key services at a postcode level. Modes if transport include by walking or cycling (often referred to as 'active travel') and also by car or public transport. Counts of the number of reachable service points and the range of accessible services are available for travel times of between five and 30 minutes. 
Type Of Technology Webtool/Application 
Year Produced 2022 
Impact This webtool provides a means of visualisation of spatial accessibility to the key services within the Welsh Index of Multiple Deprivation (WIMD) Access to Services domain. This can be used to outline key areas of deprivation based on multiple modes of transport. This analysis has the potential to support studies concerned with promoting active means of travel to facilities at national, local authority and political constituency levels.

Title [2023] Evans, R., Lewis, J., Hacking, N. and Jones, S. Citizen science: Air quality monitoring in Barry 
Description This project is a collaboration between researchers at WISERD, Cardiff University and citizen scientists based in Barry, South Wales. Part of the project involved deploying Smart Citizen air quality monitoring kits throughout the town to support the group in gathering data about their local environment. The data dashboards provide access to the real time data collected by these Smart Citizen kits. Data are presented alongside thresholds set by United Kingdom and European Commission legislation, as well as the World Health Organisation, allowing the Citizen Science group to ascertain how air quality in the area compares to these air quality standards. 
Type Of Technology Webtool/Application 
Year Produced 2023 
Open Source License? Yes  
Impact These dashboards offer the Citizen Scientists an opportunity to view and analyse the data they are collecting for the first time. They were released to the group in September 2023 and feedback was very positive. Participants described the website as 'amazing' and saw it as a real opportunity to develop their citizen science work.

Title [2023] Orford, S., Morgan, J., Jones, S., Price, A. and Morgan, S. Understanding Welsh Places 2.2 (UWP2.2) 
Description Understanding Welsh Places is a web application designed to be the first point of call for statistical information about towns and communities in Wales. Carnegie UK Trust and the Institute of Welsh Affairs worked with representatives from the public, private and third sectors to develop a plan for the website, which was first released in October 2019 and included data on 300 places in Wales. UWP2 and UWP2.1 were released in 2020 and 2021 respectively. UWP2.2 was released in February 2023 and saw a substantial update to the Connectivity section, which offers measures of how connected places in Wales are. The Connectivity section includes maps and data showing how different places in Wales with a population over 2,000 people are connected by different modes of transport. In UWP2.2, new sections were added to show the extent of the area that could be reached when travelling by train, bus, walking and cycling at different times of the day and different days of the week. The maps on bus travel also include a measure of the frequency of service. Improvements were also made to the existing travel time maps by private transport and a new section was added to indicate travel times to railway stations by private transport, buses, walking and cycling. The release also saw new additions to the narrative place descriptions and improvements to the look and feel of the interface. 
Type Of Technology Webtool/Application 
Year Produced 2023 
Impact UWP 2.2 was launched in February 2023, and there has been no known impact yet. However, more generally, the web application had about 10,800 users between January 1st 2022 and December 31st 2022, an average of 900 a month and 30 per day, an increase in usage on last year's figures.

Description  
Year Established 2020 
Impact We have produced a series of reports and briefings which have had an impact on public policy and on social action by corporate actors and community groups. We have produced three major reports for Welsh Government on food processing SMEs, Welsh town centres and NHS Wales. The first two of these three reports have now been published by Welsh Government and the report titled 'Small Towns, Big Issues: independent research report' is, according to the Welsh first minister in Senedd, now the basis for a reset of Welsh planning policy on town which recognises the importance of controlling edge of town competition with town centres centre. We work with housing associations on urban regeneration. Another major report on "Jobs and Liveability" was commissioned and published by Karbon Homes, Newcastle and this report is now the basis for the Fair Foundations" campaign by Karbon which aims to start "a new movement for left behind places" which aims to bring together anchor institutions and local authorities to make practical improvements in liveability. We also work with community groups in the slate valleys of North Wales who aim to develop a more culturally and environmentally friendly form of community tourism. Here we have with UKRI funding provided background research into tourism as it is in North Wales as well as providing local groups with a broad overview of what community tourism has achieved worldwide. Our three Tourism Briefings have informed the strategy of the community groups.

Use was made of sophisticated spatial analysis techniques to better understand current patterns of financial services provision, the changes in provision over time (between 2008 and 2018) and the impact this has on key population groups (such as the elderly). It also evaluated which areas and their occupants could potentially be most impacted by any future reductions in physical banking infrastructure. The findings were also published in a WISERD report and a blog post, posted on Senedd Research's blog.

Results and Impact Y Lab's Innovative Future Services (Infuse) workshops are delivered to support local authorities in the Cardiff Capital Region to access new skills, methods and tools that improve their capacity and capability to innovate. Prof. Scott Orford, Samuel Jones and Katie Dickson were invited to deliver a two hour workshop to professional practitioners from 10 local authorities as part of the 'supportive communities' strand of the Data Lab. In the first hour they presented the website created as part of the Understanding Welsh Places (UWP) project as both an tool, which may be useful to professional practitioners looking for key metrics about their local area, and as an example of what can be done by making use of data that are mostly in the public domain. They also highlighted some of the issues faced when selecting and compiling the data for projects such as UWP. After a short break, the second half of the workshop gave the participants an opportunity to use with the website themselves and ask questions about the datasets included. As part of this, the presenters were able to discuss the availability of datasets that were of interest to the participants, such as those relating to land ownership, second homes, access to green space and digital accessibility.
