This is the first work that systematically applies the comparative
method to the study of social policy and administration. After a
full discussion of this approach in the introduction, the book
offers three authoritative national studies--France, Norway,
Canada--each giving a rounded picture of social policy and
administration in the particular country. Social needs, resources,
and forms of social administration are related to the most
significant social, demographic, economic, and political factors of
the area in question. The authors trace the development of social
policies and indicate the direction these policies are likely to
take in the future. Comparisons between problems and solutions in
all three countries, as well as in Great Britain and the United
States, are made throughout. Part II contains comparative analyses
of particular problems and of the different forms of social
administration designed to deal with them. The problem approach is
applied to five areas of social administration: social policy and
social planning, social security, coordination, social policies and
care for the aged and family policies. Examples are taken not only
from the countries previously under study, but also from other
Western nations with well-developed social service systems. A
concluding chapter delineates the benefits of the comparative
method as demonstrated in this volume, and outlines how the goals
set forth in the introduction have been fulfilled. This unique and
fascinating book will be of interest to a wide range of readers,
especially those concerned with the study, the making, or the
implementation and administration of social policy. It will serve
as a stimulus for fresh interpretation and the re-evaluation of
major social institutions here and abroad.
