“The Big Society, Localism and Housing Policy” was the theme of a seminar series funded by the Economic and Social Research Council (2012–2014) in the UK. A collaborative venture between the Universities of St Andrews, Sheffield, Reading and Queen’s University Belfast, it brought together academics, policy-makers and practitioners from across the UK to critique contemporary political debates within the context of devolved policy-making in England, Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales. The papers in this special issue of the journal Housing Theory and Society emerged from that seminar series. Whilst the policy discussions included are very much UK focused, the wider narratives around localism, empowerment, citizenship and welfare reform have a much broader international relevance.
