Description
Social protection in developing countries: reforming systems. This book explores recent social protection reforms introduced by governments in low and middle-income countries, examining their impact and success. Through case studies of African, Asian, and Latin American countries, it analyzes the factors affecting these reforms and outlines their successes and failures. The book provides an interdisciplinary perspective on the 'global phenomenon' of social protection reforms, combining contributions from academics and practitioner experts. It offers in-depth understanding of political reform processes in developing countries, making it a valuable resource for students, researchers, and practitioners in fields such as social security, economics, law, and political science. By examining the major domestic and international factors influencing these reforms, this book sheds light on the complexities of implementing universal access to social protection and health systems.
