Developments in British Social Policy

by Nick Ellison, Christopher Pierson (Editor)

This important text furnishes students with a comprehensive introduction that covers not just a sector-by-sector policy analysis but also its important theoretical underpinning and a discussion of the wider socio-economic context of policy-making and implementation. As such - and given the outstanding reputation of many of the contributors in their respective fields - this volume is an essential text of its kind, articulating for its reader the exciting sense of debate and change in the field.
