Written by a team of internationally respected experts, this book
explores the conditions under which social policy, defined as the
public pursuit of secure welfare, operates in the poorer regions of
the world. Social policy in advanced capitalist countries operates
through state intervention to compensate for the inadequate welfare
outcomes of the labour market. Such welfare regimes cannot easily
be reproduced in poorer regions of the world where states suffer
problems of governance and labour markets are imperfect and
partial. Other welfare regimes therefore prevail involving
non-state actors such as landlords, moneylenders and patrons. This
book seeks to develop a conceptual framework for understanding
different types of welfare regime in a range of countries in Asia,
Latin America and Africa and makes an important contribution to the
literature by breaking away from the traditional focus on Europe
and North America.
