Anotace

PROVISIONAL BUT APPROVED FOR COMPLETE LIST The first edition of this successful text established itself as a broad-ranging introduction to social welfare in contemporary Britain. The second edition includes completely rewritten introductory material reflecting on recent changes in the politics of welfare. Additional chapters deal with the relationship of social welfare to social divisions by race and gender and the emergence of child sexual abuse as a major social issue. The State or the Market deals with the central questions which have emerged from the break-up of the postwar political consensus around the welfare state. A series of distinguished contributors, including exponents of alternative positions on welfare from the right, left and centre, examine key issues in the disputes over the relationship between the state and welfare.Individual chapters both explore the different political and theoretical issues in the debate, and concentrate on their application in key areas of social policy. Particular attention is given to the role of social work and public policy and the family. The final section of the book examines the political sources of the current crisis of social policy, and the prospects for a resolution of the crisis of the welfare state.Thought-provoking and accessible, the second edition of this successful text will be invaluable reading not only for students of British politics and social policy, but also for a wider readership interested in the future of the welfare state. The State or the Market is a set book on the Open University Course D211, Social Problems and Social Welfare.
