Social policy is now central to political debate in Britain. What
has been achieved by efforts to improve services and reduce
poverty? What is needed to deliver more effective and popular
services to all and increase social justice? How can we make social
policy work? These are some of the questions discussed in this new
and wide-ranging collection of essays by a distinguished panel of
leading social policy academics. The book covers key issues in
contemporary social policy, particularly concentrating on recent
changes. It examines the history and goals of social policy as well
as its delivery, focusing in turn on the family and the state,
schools, higher education, healthcare, social care, communities and
housing. Redistribution is also examined, exploring child poverty,
pension reform and resources for welfare. The essays in this
collection have been specially written to honour the 70th birthday
of Howard Glennerster whose pioneering work has been concerned not
only with the theoretical, historical and political foundations of
social policies but, crucially, with how they work in practice. It
is a collection of primary importance for those working in and
interested in policy and politics in a wide variety of fields and
for students of social policy, public policy and the public sector.
