Samenvatting

Defines US social policy and examines its history, the political economy of social policy, and speculates on the future



Social policy is a continuously evolving field requiring constant review, documentation, and analysis. The Handbook of Social Policy is an attempt to document the now substantial body of knowledge about government social policies that has been accumulated since the study of social policy first emerged as an organized field of academic endeavor about 50 years ago. The Second Edition offers a more streamlined format to make the book more consistent with the way most instructors teach their courses. This text is a comprehensive yet accessible introduction to a vast field of endeavor that has, over the years, made a significant difference to the lives and the well-being of the people of the United States.

  • Provides up-to-date policies and references to include the latest information on social policy
  • Offers a state of the art account of American social policy at the beginning of the 21st century

  • Focuses more attention on diverse populations and international issues
  • Includes added content to reflect the areas that have received increased attention such as advocacy, policy practice, immigration issues, discrimination, and more

Intended Audience
