Welfare State and Welfare Change

"Welfare State and Welfare Change is a textbook written with the undergraduate student in mind. It provides a comprehensive and accessible introduction to one of the most important but relatively neglected issues in social policy. It addresses the 'what, when and why' issues of welfare change. What constitutes a change in the welfare state? Do we have a new welfare state? If so, when did this change occur? What factors influenced change? The book brings together a wide range of diverse material, and provides descriptive, analytical and explanatory perspectives on welfare change. It moves beyond both descriptive, historical accounts of the welfare state, and theoretical, abstract accounts to integrate them within a coherent structure.". "This book brings a new perspective to the study of social policy and is designed for students of social policy, social work, politics, policy studies and public adminstration."--BOOK JACKET.
