Delivering Social Welfare: Governance and Service Provision in the UK

Autor Derek Birrell, Ann Marie Gray
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 13 dec 2016
As the system of social welfare governance and delivery in the United Kingdom faces continued, radical change, this important book argues that this change is so extensive that we should consider it a fundamental transformation or revolution. Assessing twenty years of changes across the whole of the United Kingdom, Derek Birrell and Ann Marie Gray show how a new public governance perspective has replaced the dominance of public management, reflecting the increasingly plural and fragmented nature of public policy implementation. Drawing on examples across a range of policy areas, this comprehensive book unravels the complex ways in which changes in social policy and governance interact in the delivery of social welfare, making it essential reading for welfare researchers, students, and policy makers.

Recenzii

“This book can certainly be viewed as the new authority in the area social welfare governance in the UK and, as such, is deservingly destined to become a fixture on reading lists across the UK and beyond.”

“This important book successfully tackles the difficult task of explaining and comparing how social welfare is delivered in the now increasingly diverse United Kingdom.”

“An indispensable resource for those who want to understand how complex the delivery of welfare services has become in the United Kingdom and its constituent nations in recent years.”

“This excellent book offers important insights into the shifting dynamics of who does what for whom in an increasingly complex welfare governance landscape.”

“This is an excellent book. Informed, engaging, and comprehensive. Essential reading for those interested in keeping up to date with the changing environment of social policy and governance.”
