Social policy : the key concepts

Social Policy: The Key Concepts is a comprehensive guide to the terminology and ideas encountered in the study of social policy and welfare.

At once theoretical and practical, this is a reference resource with its finger very much on the pulse of its subject, picking up as it does on emerging and future agendas.

Among those concepts lucidly explicated and discussed are: - New Labour and the Third Way - consumerism - postmodernity - meta-narratives - Marxism - post-Fordism
