Abstract

Howard Glennerster (2020) has divided the seventy-five years since the end of the Second World War into four socio-political periods characterised in terms of the economic environment and the dominant political ideology of the times: 1945 to mid-1970s (Period 1), mid 1970s to 1997 (Period 2), 1997-2010 (Period 3) and 2010-2020 (Period 4). This chapter highlights key aspects of the social security research landscape during Glennerster’s fourth period in particular, then examines the emerging research agenda for social security in a putative fifth period, covering the period since 2020. Points of continuity with and change from the fourth period, the importance of some of the overarching contextual factors and some methodological considerations are highlighted.
