This book brings together leading international researchers to
discuss governmental approaches to analysing social
policies.Analysing Social Policy expands the scope of social policy
analysis using the insights from post-Foucauldian scholarship on
the art of governing in liberal democracies. One of the main
conclusions reached is that policy researchers need to pay much
greater attention to the minutiae of policy reform, and to the
discursive and material ways in which power operates in policy
change. The chapters comprising this book are purposefully written
in a clear, accessible and reflective manner, with each of the
contributions empirically grounded, drawing on social policy
problems and practices in many countries, ranging from North
America to Europe to Australasia. The editors address key concerns
of both policy analysts as well as academic researchers attempting
to locate appropriate theoretical frameworks to make sense of
welfare state restructuring in the 21st century. This book will
appeal to researchers and research students in political science,
social policy, social work and sociology through its demonstration
of how to apply contemporary social theory to research problems. It
will also be of interest to policy scholars around the world who
are involved in analysing the intersections of power, politics and
policy.
