Description

This wide-ranging guide to key concepts and debates in welfare uses an innovative, question-based narrative to highlight the importance of theory to understanding social policy. It unpacks common questions and assumptions about the purpose, value and focus of welfare systems and provides students with a comprehensive vocabulary and toolkit for analysing policy examples and developing social science arguments.

About the Author
Dr Lee Gregory is Lecturer in Social Policy at the University of Birmingham. Lee's research interests include poverty and inequality as well as theoretical and conceptual debates about welfare provision. He is specifically interested in the role of welfare provision in perpetuating and challenging social problems.

Reviews
"Engaging, well-constructed and thoughtful, this is just the book to get students interested and to make them think." Professor Jane Millar, University of Bath "Lee Gregory draws on his experience of teaching and his enthusiasm for the subject to provide an engaging and accessible guide to the key debates in Social Policy. Students at all levels will find this an inspiring and reliable introduction to the subject." Pete Alcock, Emeritus Professor of Social Policy and Administration, University of Birmingham "Lee Gregory's book reasserts the core importance of the study of social policy to understanding the increasingly complex world that we live in today. I would recommend this as a core text to every social policy student." Christina Pantazis, University of Bristol

The shipping was just superior

The shipping was just superior; not even one of the books was in contact with the shipping box -anywhere-, not even a corner or the bottom, so all the books arrived in perfect condition. The international shipping took around 2 weeks, so pretty great too.

Found a hard to get book…

Finding a hard to get book on Booksplease and with it not being an over inflated price was great. Ordering was really easy with updates on despatch. The book was packaged well and in great condition. I will certainly use them again.
