The current context of social policy is one in which many of the
old certainties of the past have been eroded. The predominantly
inward-looking, domestic preoccupation of social policy has made
way for a more integrated, international and outward approach to
analysis which looks beyond the boundaries of the state. It is in
this context that this Handbook brings together the work of key
commentators in the field of comparative analysis in order to
provide comprehensive coverage of contemporary debates and issues
in cross-national social policy research. Organized around five
themes, this thoroughly revised and updated second edition explores
the contextual, conceptual, analytical and processual aspects of
undertaking comparative social research. The contributions
highlight specific areas of comparative social policy including
child poverty and well-being, patterns of housing provision and
housing inequalities, and social protection in East Asia as well as
crime and criminology in a global context. The authors of the
Handbook explore continuing and emerging themes as well as issues
which are of particular relevance to understanding the contemporary
social world. International in scope, this authoritative Handbook
presents original cutting-edge research from leading specialists
and will become an indispensable source of reference for anyone
interested in comparative and international social research. It
will also prove a valuable study aid for undergraduate and
postgraduate students from a range of disciplines including social
policy, sociology, politics, urban studies and public policy.
