How do human societies provide for the wellbeing of their members?
How far can we organize the ways in which we care for and about
each other? And who should take responsibility for providing the
support we need? These are some of the fundamental questions
addressed by social policy today. In this introduction, Hartley
Dean explains the extraordinary scope and importance of social
policy. He explores its foundations and contemporary significance;
the principal issues it addresses and their diverse economic,
political and sociological dimensions, and concludes by looking
anew at fundamental challenges facing social policy in a
dramatically changing world. Introducing social policy as a broadly
conceived study of human wellbeing, this revised and extensively
updated third edition examines ways in which governments and
peoples throughout the world attend to, promote, neglect or even
undermine the things that make life worth living. These include
essential services like healthcare and education; the means of
livelihood - jobs and money - and sometimes intangible things such
as physical and emotional security. Trying to understand these
elements, which together constitute human wellbeing, is the stuff
of social policy.
