Recenzii

“At last, a social policy textbook which builds from the basics to provide a comprehensive overview of the key pillars of the welfare state. Essential reading for all students (and a helpful reminder for those who teach them!).”

“An engaging book, which offers students the kind of ‘Cook’s tour’ that only the best teachers have the range and knowledge to deliver.”

“This is an excellent second edition of a fantastic text, which is accessible, engaging, and pitched perfectly for those new to the subject.”

“This well-written and accessible text steps outside the usual concerns of the UK welfare state to deliver a highly original perspective focusing on key goals, delivery mechanisms, and policy dilemmas. This makes it the ideal introduction and ‘short guide’ to social policy.”
