Social Rights and Human Welfare by Hartley Dean

An essential introduction to rights-based approaches in social policy, this text critically explores how social rights underpin human wellbeing and is ideal for students and researchers in social policy and related applied social science, socio-legal studies and social development fields.

This thoughtful, wide-ranging and clearly written text provides both a useful introduction to the subject of social rights and a valuable critical analysis of their meaning and significanceHartley Dean's exposition of a 'post-Marshallian' theory of social rights gives plenty of food for thought.

Professor the Baroness (Ruth) Lister of Burtersett
Emeritus Professor of Social Policy
Loughborough University

Hartley Dean is professor of social policy at the London School of Economics. His 30 years in academia were preceded by a 12-year career as a welfare rights worker in one of London's most deprived multicultural neighbourhoods. His principal teaching and research interests stem from concerns with poverty, social justice and welfare rights. Among his more recently published books are Welfare Rights and Social Policy (Prentice Hall, 2002), Social Policy (Polity, 2006 & 2012) and Understanding Human Need (The Policy Press, 2010).
