The International Handbook on Social Policy and the Environment
reviews debates concerning poverty, inequalities, social
distribution, social rights, taxation, healthcare, education, water
and energy policies to examine the relevance and importance of
climate change to social policies and welfare reform.Environmental
change is central to the global social policy challenges of the
twenty-first century. This comprehensive Handbook brings together
leading experts from around the world to address the most important
questions and issues we face. How should welfare states adapt to
environmental change? To what extent are the ecological and social
policy agendas compatible? Must we contemplate radical reforms to
the principles and organisation of welfare services? Combining
cutting-edge theory and data in an interdisciplinary approach, this
Handbook both summarizes existing developments and suggests how
debates and research must develop in the future. This book will
appeal to taught postgraduates, doctoral students and academics
across the policy and social sciences. It will also be of interest
to non-academic researchers, practitioners and environmental
activists. With case studies drawn from many countries including
Australia, Japan, Germany, Scandinavia, Canada, Latin America and
the UK, the Handbook will provide an important resource for years
to come. Contributors : N. Bardsley, K. Bell, E.L Boasson, M.
