This major textbook examines the current state of British social security policy and explores the options for the future. Using a policy analysis approach, Michael Hill emphasises the need to understand the political processes which have shaped policy. He stresses the need to situate any proposals for reform of these policies in a realistic political, social and economic context. As well being concerned to explore the forces which have shaped policy, the book also shows how it has been implemented and explains how social security policy interacts with other public policies.
Rezensionen / Stimmen
'Social Security Policy in Britain. . . is most welcome for having been written by Michael Hill whose reputation as a writer of knowledgeable, usable, readable books which are both summative and thematically structured is so well deserved. They have been the answer to many students' prayers (and our own) in their struggle to see the social policy wood from the trees.'
