Description
The Impact of Devolution on Social Policy by Derek Birrell This comprehensive assessment explores how devolution has influenced social policy in Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland. It provides an in-depth analysis of the major areas of social policy, comparing developments across the four UK nations. Birrell examines the nature and scope of social policies, including their implementation, convergence with UK policies, and areas of overlap. He also investigates the ideas and values that have driven the direction of social policy under devolution. This book will be of interest to academics and students in social policy, public policy, and politics, as well as practitioners involved in policy making.
