Social Policy: Themes and Approaches

by Paul Spicker

"Social Themes and Approaches" is a thematic introduction to the concepts underlying the provision of social welfare and the processes by which welfare is organised and delivered. Drawing on materials from a range of disciplines, including sociology, political theory, economic, public and social administration, the book introduces the student to the vocabulary of the subject and the main debates,. It therefore prepares them for a better understanding of material set in the context of particular countries, services or professional fields.
