Demonstrating the relevance of theory to political and policy
debates and practice, this lively and accessible second edition
helps students to grasp the real-life implications of social policy
theory. It considers contemporary shifts in welfare ideologies in
the context of global austerity and the UK Coalition and
Conservative governments (2010 onwards). With a new chapter
focusing on critical debates about disability, sexuality and the
environment, this textbook also includes fresh reflections on
migration, social security conditionality, resilience, social
justice and human rights. Key features include: • real-life
examples from UK and international politics and policy to explain
and illuminate the significance of social policy theory; • key
questions for student reflection and engagement; • and bulleted
chapter summaries and annotated further readings at the end of
every chapter. This new edition is a dynamic, engaging and valuable
introduction to the key theoretical perspectives and concepts
deployed in social policy.
