description

This paper uses the COVID-19 pandemic to reflect on the relationship between governance and solidarity It considers how a social model based on self-regulating individuals has been complemented by a new form of state dirigisme reliant on evocations of solidarity However, this configuration may be approaching the limits of its viability Given that governance relies on the robust internalization and execution of both care and control and on an ethos of renunciation, especially among the middle and upper classes, the paper proposes the need for analyses that better incorporate concepts of social inequality © Vandenhoeck & Ruprecht GmbH & Co KG, Gottingen 2020
