Description
Social Policy in a Developing World by Rebecca Surender and Robert Walker provides a critical analysis of social protection systems in the global South. This volume explores the challenges and opportunities facing welfare arrangements in developing countries, examining current strategies for addressing poverty and welfare needs. The authors combine analytical frameworks with an examination of key areas of policy and provision in selected countries, offering insights into the relevance of industrialized North models in a developing country context. The book analyzes institutions, actors, instruments, and mechanisms involved in welfare arrangements, providing a study of social policy development and future trajectories in the global South. This comparative and interdisciplinary approach makes it a valuable resource for anyone interested in current debates in international social policy and welfare research.
