Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

`A clear and concise introduction to comparative social policy. It provides students with a framework in which to analyse the British welfare regime and to compare it with those developed and developing elsewhere' - Hilary Graham, Professor of Applied Social Studies, University of Warwick

`This book is well written and presented. It develops current issues in social policy from an historical perspective in a lively and absorbing way. I would recommend it for students taking undergraduate courses, whether conventional courses, or for parts of distance-learning texts' - Social Sciences in Health

Reseña del editor:

Offering an introduction to the study of both British and comparative social policy, this book provides a unique approach to understanding the British welfare state through its wider international focus. The British experience is related to those of Hong Kong, Sweden, Germany and Ireland and is set in the context of policy issues within the European Community.

Particular attention is paid to the interactions between family policies and issues of race and gender, and to the processes by which individuals or groups are given or denied access to full welfare citizenship. Individual chapters move easily between national and international levels in ways which highlight the richness and complexity of welfare regimes in different countries, while at the same time considering shared features and trends.

Produced in large format, Comparing Welfare States is a course book on the Open University course Family Life and Social Policy (D311).
