Authored by two highly respected and experienced academics, this book demonstrates the rewards of studying social policy from an international perspective by avoiding the constraints of a single-nation focus. Global in its canvas and analytical in its method, the book: • Explores the economic, social and political contexts of social policy; • Examines in detail its institutions and fields of practice; • Illustrates the field’s main ideas, themes and practices drawing on a rich international literature and using pertinent and thought-provoking examples.
"Demonstrates the important international nature of welfare debates, situating readers in the wider world of social policy and facilitating a deeper understanding of the discipline." Lee Gregory, University of Birmingham
"Global in reach and wide ranging in coverage, the book presents valuable insights into how to understand social issues and the possible solutions social policy analysis may offer." Gyu-Jin Hwang, University of Sydney
