A comprehensive and accessible guide to the key themes, issues and debates in global social policy.

The global social policy reader will have broad appeal among undergraduate and postgraduate students in a range of social science subjects, including social and public policy, social care and health studies, sociology, politics, economics, international relations and development studies.
