Elgar Advanced Introductions are stimulating and thoughtful
introductions to major fields in the social sciences and law,
expertly written by the world's leading scholars. Designed to be
accessible yet rigorous, they offer concise and lucid surveys of
the substantive and policy issues associated with discrete subject
areas. Advanced Introduction to Social Policy offers a concise
overview of the field that takes newer realities into account,
without rejecting the insights found in the traditional social
policy canon. Daniel Beland and Rianne Mahon draw on both classic
and contemporary theories to illuminate the broad processes that
are putting pressure on existing social policy arrangements and
raising new research questions. This enlightening book enriches
social policy research by moving beyond the methodological
nationalism that has traditionally marked the field to include the
role of transnational actors. Key features include: - a concise yet
advanced introduction to social policy research - a close
examination of changing gender relations and the increasing
salience of ethnic diversity - a focus on both the advanced
industrial world and the growing importance of the Global South as
a site of social policy innovation - stressing the role of ideas in
social policy - a global perspective on social policy that features
systematic attention to transnational actors. In this lucid and
accessible book, the authors offer a thorough overview of the field
of social policy. The Advanced Introduction to Social Policy is
essential reading for students, academics and policymakers alike.
