Experts from across the globe review leading social policy scholarship in this new volume in the Social Policy Review series.
Specialists explore local and multi-level trends in social policy including government responses to the cost-of-living crisis in the UK and decentralisation in primary health care in Thailand. They also review policy responses to working age risks in England, Italy and Australia, as well as policy developments and transformations such as social protection in Japan and Australia and immigration resettlement schemes in the UK.
Published in association with the Social Policy Association, the latest book in this respected series will be essential reading for students and academics in social policy, social welfare and related disciplines.
"Social Policy Review has always provided an indispensable annual review of contemporary developments in social policy. This edition, focused on multilevel and comparative analysis of developments in the UK and elsewhere, is no exception." Chris Holden, University of York
"As always, the Review offers an impressive and distinct line-up of topics and contributors. It is essential annual reading for the foremost trends in social policy analysis". Fiona Dukelow, University College Cork
