Contemporary social policy has never been more vigorously
contested. Issues range from single-issue campaigns over housing,
social care, hospital closures through to organised movements
around disability, environment, health and education. However, the
historical and contemporary role played by social movements in
shaping social welfare has too often been neglected in standard
social policy texts. "Understanding social welfare movements" is
the first text to bring together social policy and social movement
studies. Using actual case studies and written in an accessible and
engaging style, it will attract a wide readership of undergraduate
and postgraduate students, higher education teachers and
researchers, stakeholders and activists. Introductory chapters
examine the historical and theoretical relationship between state
welfare and social movements. Subsequent chapters outline the
historical contribution of various social movements to the creation
of the welfare state relating to Beveridge's 'five giants' of
idleness, ignorance, squalor, illness and want. The book then
examines the contemporary challenge posed by 'new social movements'
in relation to the family, discrimination, environment, and global
social justice. The book provides a timely and much needed overview
of the changing nature of social welfare as it has been shaped by
the demands of social movements.
