Understanding Global Social Policy by Nicola Yeates
Examines the impact of the prefix 'global' on the ways in which social policy as a field of study is constructed. This book explores how the globalising strategies of state and non-state actors intersect with social policy concerns, evaluating their impacts upon social welfare.
Nicola Yeates has brought together an impressive, coherent collection of contributors providing comprehensive coverage of developments in global social policy across a wide range of policy areasThe relationship between globalisation and social policy is one that is rapidly evolving and differentiated. This collection successfully captures these dynamics whilst at the same time providing empirical substance to developments at a particular point in time.
