Introduction to Social Policy Analysis: Illuminating Welfare Issues
Autor Stephen Sinclairen Limba Engleză Paperback – 23 feb 2016
In a political climate that is ever more focused on austerity and efficiency, it is crucial that those who advocate for, support, and implement social policy know how to analyze it and understand its effects, successes, and failures. This volume offers a clear introduction to social policy analysis, starting from the question of why social policy analysis is worthwhile, then moving on to how it can be used to consider approaches to a wide range of social welfare issues.

Recenzii
“Instead of duplicating existing introductions, this concise book offers a truly personal and well-written discussion of key concepts that help readers grasp the nature of contemporary social policy analysis.”
“This well-organized and comprehensible book by a seasoned teacher of social policy analysis will be of enormous benefit to teachers, students, researchers, and social policy practitioners.”
“Crystal clear in its descriptions, always challenging and engaging, and never longwinded, it comfortably fulfils its promise to illuminate welfare and therefore easily merits a place on any introductory social policy course's reading list.”
“The great strength of this book is that it shows that social policy is a matter of politics and morality rather than technical solutions.”
“Analyzing the subject in its challenging context, Sinclair engages the reader by freeing social policy from its service-straitjacket.”
