Understanding Theories and Concepts in Social Policy

Rezensionen / Stimmen

"A valuable introduction to the range of theories used in social policy, and a beautifully clear exposition of what theory is and why it matters. Essential reading." Kitty Stewart, London School of Economics and Political Science





"An accessible and engaging book written by leading figures in the field that can help student and seasoned professional alike unpack the assumptions and ideas that inform what governments do." Aaron Reeves, University of Oxford "I am absolutely delighted that the authors updated and extended the first edition as it is so hard to find a credible source that conveys the critical importance of theories and political ideologies to social policy in an accessible fashion without compromising complexity. This book certainly does it." Sebnem Eroglu-Hawksworth, University of Bristol "A wonderfully accessible and comprehensive presentation of theories and concepts of social policy. It fully engages the reader by bringing to life the complexities and nuances of different perspectives." Fiona Williams, Emeritus Professor of Social Policy, University of Leeds
