Available in paperback for the first time, this milestone work
offers an in-depth treatment of all aspects of the discipline and
practice of social policy globally. Supported by a distinguished
international advisory board, the editors have compiled almost
900,000 words across 734 entries written by 284 leading specialists
to provide authoritative coverage of concepts, policy actors,
welfare institutions and services along a series of national,
regional and transnational dimensions. Also included are
biographical entries on major policy makers and shapers. The
editors have particularly striven to provide strong coverage of
differing geographical and cultural traditions so that the variety
of social policy, as both an academic discipline and a domain of
governance, is reflected. Contributors draw in and make the
necessary connections with social policy's associated disciplines
to provide a rich picture of this vast and highly diverse field.
Comprehensive and authoritative, the Encyclopedia has sought to
open up rather than to foreclose the numerous areas in which there
is on-going research, debate and, sometimes, serious disagreement
and divergence in theory and practice. To this end, entries attempt
to introduce a core or common ground of understanding before moving
on to a wider discussion of debates regarding different conceptual
and geographical approaches. The whole is integrated by
cross-referencing and each entry includes a bibliography for
further reading. There is a full index. The International
Encyclopedia of Social Policy provides the most substantial mapping
of the international study and practice of social policy to date
and will stand as a vital storehouse of knowledge for many years to
come.
