Exploring The World Of Social Policy by Michael Hill, Paperback | Indigo Chapters

This important new exploration of social policy takes as its starting point universal questions about social welfare: What are welfare systems for? Why are they necessary? How are they generated and why do they take the forms that they do? Global in its canvas and comparative in its method, this book systematically explores the economic, political, and social contexts of social policy before taking a detailed look at its associated institutions and fields of practice. Exploring the World of Social Policy brings together traditions of scholarship that are rarely integrated, including welfare theory, comparative research, and global social policy. It provides an ambitious and innovative new approach to teaching, designed to meet the needs of an increasingly diverse generation of students. | Exploring The World Of Social Policy by Michael Hill, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
