Description
Social Policy provides an excellent introduction to social policy in the twenty-first century. Expert contributors examine the development, delivery, and implications of welfare systems, as well as their social and economic context. This fourth edition includes three new chapters on the history and development of social policy, making social policy in a global context, and how to research and write about social policy. The book is up-to-date with the coalition government's social policy agenda, offering increased coverage of important issues such as equality, gender, ethnicity, migration, globalization, and sustainability. It is an ideal starting point for students new to the subject, and for those looking to take their learning further. An accompanying Online Resource Centre provides updates on recent developments in the field, a searchable glossary, and web links.
