Description
Exploring Welfare Debates: Key Concepts and Questions by Lee Gregory is a comprehensive introduction to key concepts and debates in welfare. This visually rich book uses an innovative, question-based narrative to highlight the importance of theory to understanding welfare policy.
It provides students with a comprehensive vocabulary and toolkit for analysing policy examples and developing social science arguments. The book includes stimulus material, diagrams, critical thinking activities, further reading lists and a companion website containing additional resources.
Written by an experienced lecturer, this book is suitable for undergraduate students of social policy, sociology, politics, public policy, social work, health and social care, particularly those taking courses on welfare theory or principles of social policy. It develops students' social science understanding and analytic skills using current debates about the problems and benefits of state-funded welfare.
