The WELFARE STATE IN BRITAIN - A Political History since 1945 (Paperback): Michael Hill The WELFARE STATE IN BRITAIN - A Political History since 1945 (Paperback)
Michael Hill
R1,025 Discovery Miles 10 250 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

The Welfare State in Britain presents a history of British social policy from the election of Clement Attlee to the fall of Margaret Thatcher.Michael Hill focuses upon the political processes which influenced the key reforms of the late 1940s, and the ways in which those reforms have subsequently been consolidated and undermined. He critically examines some of the theories drawn from political science which have been used to explain the growth of the welfare state in Britain. The so called 'crisis of the welfare state' that has dominated recent rhetoric is shown to have its origins in the very period when the welfare state was believed to have been created. Despite its importance for electoral politics, social policy is shown to have often been subordinate to economic and foreign policy. The book will be essential reading for all students of social welfare and social policy as well as the political history of Britain since 1945.

Whiteness - A Critical Reader (Hardcover): Michael Hill Whiteness - A Critical Reader (Hardcover)
Michael Hill
R2,553 Discovery Miles 25 530 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

For centuries, Whiteness has been the invisible norm in the West, a transparent, yet ubiquitous frame of reference so pervasive that most Whites consider themselves absolved from race matters. In recent years activists, scholars, and writers have been challenging this cultural and political monolith by investigating Whiteness in its many manifestations. Yet, once it is rendered visible, Whiteness proves to be perilous and paradoxical: we single out Whiteness to expose its status as an unexamined center, yet the more we single it out, the more attention we invariably draw to it, once again at the expense of marginalized cultures. Organized into sections on white politics, white culture, white bodies, and white theory, this anthology collects much of the most important work on Whiteness to date. Such writers as David Roediger, Eric Lott, E. Ann Kaplan, Fred Pfeil, Amitava Kumar, and Henry A. Giroux serve up what is, in essence, a second generation of writing on Whiteness, moving past acknowledgment of its heretofore invisible nature, to in-depth analysis of its resilience and alleged disintegration. Taking on film, literature, music, militias, even Rush Limbaugh, Whiteness: A Critical Reader is a crucial contribution to discussions of race, politics, and culture in the U.S. today.

Income Maintenance Policy (Hardcover): Michael Hill Income Maintenance Policy (Hardcover)
Michael Hill
R7,098 Discovery Miles 70 980 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

This authoritative collection, which includes a new introduction surveying the fields, contains key contributions from the comparative literature on the politics of income maintenance policy.In recent years theoretical work has been dominated by Gosta Esping-Andersen's regime theory. This volume demonstrates how that theory, together with arguments on convergence and path-dependency, has been applied to the comparative study of income maintenance policy. It highlights issues about the difference between social insurance and social assistance and about the important differences in the way women and families are treated. The collection looks at the literature that seeks to explain cutbacks, or their absence, highlighting issues about pensions policy. Income Maintenance Policy will be an invaluable source of literature for researchers, students and policymakers alike.

The Politics of Nation Building and Citizenship in Singapore (Paperback): Michael Hill, Kwen Fee Lian The Politics of Nation Building and Citizenship in Singapore (Paperback)
Michael Hill, Kwen Fee Lian
R1,424 Discovery Miles 14 240 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

Since independence in 1965 Singapore has strengthened its own national identity through a conscious process of nation-building and promoting the active role of the citizen within society. Singapore is a state that has firmly rejected welfarism but whose political leaders have maintained that collective values, instead of those of autonomous individuals, are essential to its very survival. The book begins by examining basic concepts of citizenship, nationality and the state in the context of Singapore's arrival at independence. The theme of nation-building is explored and how the creation of a national identity, through building new institutions, has been a central feature of political and social life in Singapore. Of great importance has been education, and a system of multilingual education that is part of a broader government strategy of multiculturalism and multiracialism; both have served the purpose of building a new national identity. Other areas covered by the authors include family planning, housing policy, the creation of parapolitical structures and the imporatnce of shared `Asian values' amongst Singapore's citizens.

R439 Discovery Miles 4 390 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

After John A. Macdonald's death, four Tory prime ministers -- each remarkable but all little known -- rose to power and fell in just five years. From 1891 to 1896, between John A. Macdonald's and Wilfrid Laurier's tenures, four lesser-known men took on the mantle of leadership. Tory prime ministers John Abbott, John Thompson, Mackenzie Bowell, and Charles Tupper headed the government of Canada in rapid succession. Each came to the job with qualifications and limitations, and each left after unexpectedly short terms. Yet these reluctant prime ministers are an important part of our political legacy. Their roles were much more than caretakers between the administrations of two great leaders. Personal tragedy, terrible health issues, backstabbing, and political manipulation all led to their eventual downfalls. The Lost Prime Ministers is the dramatic saga of these overlooked Canadian leaders.

Susan Balloch, Michael Hill
R837 Discovery Miles 8 370 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

This collection focuses on the relationship between social care, community and citizenship, linking them in a way relevant to both policy and practice. While there is extensive research within each of these fields, until now there is a dearth of dialogue between them. In the current political context. With an emphasis on the development of locally based services and governance, this publication is particularly timely. Divided into four sections, it covers: key concepts, issues and relationships and draws on contrasting illustrations from England and Scotland; ethics of care and the theoretical and moral complexities to be thought through for both those receiving and those delivering care; practice based chapters on community capacity to care, black and minority ethnic care, anti-social behaviour, domestic violence, befriending, volunteering, dementia care and home care; and international comparisons and perspectives with chapters from Sweden, Germany and Japan.The book is aimed at a wide range of readers including: academics, principally teachers and researchers in social policy and social work; undergraduate and postgraduate students; practitioners, including community development workers, social workers, public health workers, mental health staff, practitioners employed on renewal, regeneration, social inclusion and community cohesion programmes and policy makers in central and local government, strategic health authorities and primary care trusts. It opens up discussions relevant for the next decade and beyond.
