Description
This bold new textbook represents a significant step forward in Social Policy teaching by combining comparative and global perspectives. Introducing readers to a wide spread of international challenges and issues, the book shows how insights into policy can be generated using a comparative and multidisciplinary approach. Global in its canvas and analytical in its method, the book: • Explores the economic, social and political contexts of social policy; • Examines in detail its institutions and fields of practice; • Illustrates the field’s main ideas, themes and practices drawing on a rich international literature and using pertinent and thought-provoking examples. Authored by two highly respected and experienced academics, this book demonstrates the rewards of studying social policy from an international perspective by avoiding the constraints of a single-nation focus. Clear, authoritative and wide-ranging, it will be essential reading for undergraduate and postgraduate students of social sciences taking courses covering social policy, social welfare and comparative policy analysis.
