During the past decade, the appropriate role of government in
society has been subjected to a sweeping reevaluation throughout
the world. An important element in this ongoing debate has been a
reappraisal of the form and magnitude of public social welfare
policy. The essays that make up this volume examine a variety of
aspects of this topic as it applies to family policy in the United
States, including both the political debate over who should be
served and how programs should be funded, and the intellectual
questions surrounding the nature of social organization and its
role within the state. Divided into three major subject areas, the
work reexamines basic elements of current policy debate surrounding
family life. The first section explores fundamental features of
family policy, considering whether there is a conflict of interest
between adults and children in fashioning social policy, and
outlining the parameters of a feminist family policy. The second
section examines the linkage between ideology and action. Among the
topics covered are the link between state political culture and
family policy, latchkey children, treatment of the nation's elderly
and its link to a mythical past, abortion, and family policy in the
People's Republic of China. The final section analyzes a number of
specific policies, including AFDC program cutbacks, the decline in
family planning resources, nonfamily-based care, and joint custody
arrangements, and attempts to trace their impact. A concluding
chapter examines the future of family policy. This work will be a
valuable resource for both students and professionals in the fields
of public policy studies and sociology, as well as an important
addition to public and academic libraries.
