“…Within this view, society is pictured as a ladder (Koller, Davidson 2008), where owing to unequal distribution, those at the top of the ladder acquire the most of social resources and power, compared to the social groups that occupy the bottom of the ladder (Kummitha 2016). The second, social integrationist discourse emphasizes labour market participation as a means for fighting exclusion (Cochrane 2003;Seyfang 2004). This is a weak comprehension of exclusion (Levander 2009), perceiving individuals as active agents of their condition and focusing on enhancing their possibilities to be included in the society, primarily through paid employment (Lister 2004).…”

The paper explores the potential impact of social enterprises on social exclusion. In particular, the role of social enterprises in labour market integration of socially excluded individuals is analysed within the existing theoretical and policy discourses of exclusion. Taking into account the difficulties in measuring the social impact of social enterprises, our study contributes to the quantitative literature on the performance of social enterprises, taking the number of integrated people as a measure of the impact on social exclusion. The research is based on data on the employment of marginalized groups, derived from a unique dataset collected by a recently conducted survey of social enterprises in Serbia. The original methodological framework combines statistical methods and multi-criteria decision making model, in order to evaluate the contribution of different types of enterprises to the employment of excluded individuals. Weights determination for the MCDM model is performed using entropy while TOPSIS method is applied for the ranking of the types of social enterprises according to the employment of socially excluded categories. The results indicate that enterprises for employment of persons with disabilities, citizens’ associations and cooperatives in Serbia contribute the most in integrating the socially excluded.

“…There appear to be several dimensions to this model. Therefore, the participation of local residents is key to 'building capacity' and achieving 'sustainability' (Cochrane, 2000) and providing a good 'return' on government spending. In the context of NDC, these responsibilities refer to an engagement with the ongoing practice of the programme by supplying analyses of local problems and solutions; attending NDC meetings and, ideally, participating in local decision making and /or devising and managing projects for the benefit of local residents.…”

‘We have had nothing for so long that we don't know what to ask for’: New Deal for Communities and the Regeneration of Socially Excluded Terrain

This paper explores New Labour's desire to refurbish the physical and social fabric of excluded neighbourhoods through its New Deal for Communities (NDC) programme. It begins by examining three key concepts that embody and underpin this policy intervention – community, agency and exclusion and proceeds by contrasting these conceptual dimensions with a set of discordant, intra-neighbourhood processes of conflict, contestation and division, identified by recently conducted fieldwork in an NDC area. I argue that such processes produce a complex social terrain that is inhabited by social agents with a diverse range of needs, values and experiences, before discussing how this challenges and de-stabilises NDC's aspiration to ‘promote’ community, change individual behaviour and tackle exclusion effectively. The paper concludes by questioning whether New Labour's desire to implement a ‘community’ project, shaped by theoretical precepts, constrains NDC's ability to deliver lasting change to excluded areas.

“…Two new area-based initiatives were launched: the New Deal for Communities in 1998, targeting 39 of the poorest neighbourhoods in the country, and the National Strategy for Neighbourhood Renewal in 2001. These programmes were characterized by a new political language of social inclusion and 'people-based regeneration' (Colenutt, 1999;Cochrane, 2000;Watt & Jacobs, 2000;Wallace, 2001;Hills & Stewart, 2005), and promoting joined-up action in the fields of health, crime, housing, education and employment through partnerships between the public, private and third sector (Evans, 2001).…”

“…3 New Labour's urban policy thus encompasses two key agendas: a 'neighbourhood renewal' priority focusing on tackling social exclusion in the poorest areas in the country, and a design-led 'Urban Renaissance' agenda fostering the physical, aesthetic and economic regeneration of all cities (Holden & Iveson, 2003;Cochrane, 2000Cochrane, , 2003Cochrane, , 2007. These agendas are potentially complementary, but also contradictory (Cochrane, 2003(Cochrane, , 2007.…”
