Social Policy in a Cold Climate: Policy, Poverty and Inequality in England de Ruth Lupton

Social Policy in a Cold Climate: Policy, Poverty and Inequality in England: CASE Studies on Poverty, Place and Policy

Editat de Ruth Lupton, John Hills, Kitty Stewart, Tania Burchardt, Polly Vizard
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 19 apr 2016
The financial crisis of 2008 led the United Kingdom’s Labour Government to make changes—primarily cuts—to social programs and a wide range of social services. The subsequent Coalition Government followed those changes with much more dramatic cuts. This book offers the first in-depth empirical analysis of the two governments and their approach to social policy in a period of crisis, assessing policy aims, policy implementation, and measurable outcomes.

Recenzii

“Hats off to the Centre for Analysis of Social Exclusion (CASE) for another in their invaluable series on whether social policy is meeting its goal of a fairer society. This authoritative account of social policy and well being from 2007 to 2015 is chilling but essential reading.”

“The subtext is clear: austerity is damaging the access to, and the quality of, certain services. The authors provide sophisticated levels of analysis in proving this, presenting intricate data on spending levels and its impact since the recession.”

“Objective, thorough analysis of the kind found in this book is important, both for better policy making and for holding politicians of all political colors to account for their promises and record in government. The editors explicitly aim to inform the public debate, looking ‘behind the claims and counter-claims made through the media.’ With the policy agenda of the last government set to continue, their work deserves to be read and consulted widely.”

“Does the financial crisis and its aftermath represent a key turning point in the history of the UK welfare state? This is an essential resource for anyone interested in UK social policy.”

“A one-stop shop for an authoritative and measured assessment of the response to the crisis by the Labour Government and of the unfortunate policies of the 2010‒15 Coalition—which is what you’d expect from this team.”

"This book offers a reference guide for readers who want facts, figures, and a meticulous analysis of social policy in order to critique the claims that make headline news."

"An essential addition to the bookshelves of anyone who studies or is involved in UK social policy."

“Analysis of the high quality we have come to expect from these authors—a vital contribution to current debates about the fundamental policy principles and goals of the welfare state.”

“Another superb assessment of UK social policies, this time in the face of austerity, from the anti-cyclical policies of Labour through to the end of the austerity coalition. So authoritative, resourceful, and speedy!”
