Description

SPR 27 brings together international scholarship to address a broad range of issues that emphasise both the breadth of social policy analysis, and the expanse of issues with which it is engaged. These include the effects of financialisation on services and care provision, policies to address deficiencies in housing and labour markets and ways in which the study of social policy may need to develop.
