Description
Book SynopsisThis encyclopaedia introduces the major issues and debates in British social policy. Although the focus is on Britain, entries also cover major international concepts and comparative study. The book features larger entries on key debates and short definitions for minor terms.
Trade Review"A valuable resource for all who study social policy at whatever level – not only for reference and guidance but for stimulation, provocation and inspiration."
Adrian Sinfield, Professor Emeritus of Social Policy, The University of Edinburgh "A reliable guide through the jungle of terms, concepts, institutions and reformers that make up modern social policy. The short entries serve as a handy reference for students and practitioners alike while the longer entries depict complex theoretical concepts in a most accessible and lucid way." Professor Lutz Leisering, Bielefeld University
