The Coalition Government and Social Policy: Restructuring the Welfare State de Hugh Bochel

The Coalition Government and Social Policy: Restructuring the Welfare State

Editat de Hugh Bochel, Martin Powell
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 23 mar 2016
In May 2015, general elections in the United Kingdom shocked the world as a new Conservative Government was voted into power, ending five years of Coalition governance. Both a response to the actions of the Coalition Government and a reflection on the implications of actions taken during the first hundred days of the new Conservative Government, this book could not be more timely in its assessment of the current and future states of UK social policies. The first book to consider Coalition social policy in its entirety, it not only reviews and evaluates the extent of change under the Coalition—looking at the impact of factors like austerity measures on social policies and politics more broadly—but also draws out what the Coalition years will mean for the incoming government, outlining both the challenges and opportunities of its legacy.

Recenzii

"An informed, engaging and accessible account of the 2010–15 Coalition government’s politics and policies, written by a strong team respected for their social policy expertise."

“This very timely collection is the first comprehensive analysis of the policies and politics of the UK coalition government. Leading commentators are dissecting rhetoric, actual spending and impact (where possible) of the coalition's policies.”

“A first class introduction to the recent past for anyone intending to study this time period as well as for those simply wanting to check the pulse of the modern British state.”
