Advanced Introduction to Social Policy

by Daniel Béland, Rianne Mahon

Advanced Introduction to Social Policy offers a concise overview of the field that takes newer realities into account, without rejecting the insights found in the traditional social policy canon. Daniel Beland and Rianne Mahon draw on both classic and contemporary theories to illuminate the broad processes that are putting pressure on existing social policy arrangements and raising new research questions. These processes provide the canvass against which the authors assess the social policy implications of changing gender relations, the increasing salience of ethnic diversity, and the growing importance of the Global South as a site of social policy innovation.

Very hard to read. Most things explained in this book can be explained in a less complex way and by using language understandable also for non-academics. Science does not have to mean explaining things in the most difficult way possible. Instead, social sciences should be made approachable to anyone interested in such themes.

A good intro to social policy but I absorbed none of it
