Recenzii

Global Social Policy as a field of study draws upon a variety of disciplines and international reports for its empirical base, analytical framework and moral compass. This well-structured volume brings together a balanced selection of such sources. A perfect companion for all global social policy students.

This comprehensive and well edited reader helps us understand the impact of globalisation and global actors on social problems and programmes across the world AND the debates about what should happen. Ian Gough, University of Bath

The Global Social Policy Reader is an expertly compiled book with a welldefinedargument against the neo-liberal policies implemented through the Washington Consensus.... Sakari Taipale in Social Policy and Administration
