Reconstructing the Welfare State by Norman Johnson
The 1980s have seen substantial changes in all areas of social policy in Britain under the auspices of three radical Conservative governments. Taken together, these changes represent a fundamental transformation of the welfare state since the 1940s, and continue to be the subject of much contemporary debate. This book presents an analysis of the policies currently being implemented and proposed, and examines how these policies will affect provision of welfare in Britain. In illustrating this argument, Norman Johnson identifies and explores the themes of contemporary Conservative social policy: privatization, market ideology and a distrust of local government. The book concludes with an overall assessment of the changes brought about and a consideration of alternative strategies for future social policy initiatives.| SKU | Unavailable |
