| Abstract: | Comparative analysis of unemployment in Britain in the 1930s and 1980s is the main subject of the study. The paper discusses such an issues as the unemployed and the state, organizational resources, the dialogical form of collective action and monological forms of organization. The author suggests that there is the lack of an organization comparable to the National Unemployed Workers Movement (NUWM) of the inter-war period. The changing form of the state is central to understanding the differing experiences of the 1930s and 1980s. The NUWM focused its everyday campaigns on locally controlled unemployment relief agencies. Today the centralized bureaucratic welfare state is largely immune to similar local protests. |
