| Abstract: | The article discusses and analyzes the governance of pension schemes, and the risks that are posed for pension savers.This is a prominent issue in the current pension debate in the UK and the more important in the context of the governance of individual behavior. The main contents are the following: i) It cirticizes that policy about the concept of governmentality as a means of interpreting the course of recent UK pension policy and its attempts to influence individual saving behaviour. ii) It evaluates the effect introducing personal accounts upon the pensions landscape, and in particular its potential to push forward the government's recent approach to pension provision. iii) How these reforms may create the very real possibility of undermining individual saving for retirement. |
