The fourth edition has been revised and updated throughout to reflect recent political developments that are having significant policy consequences, including the Brexit vote in the UK and the election of Donald Trump in the U.S. The fourth edition also features additional material on Karl Polanyi, European party politics, disability policy, and more.Part One, The Development of Social Policy, discusses the factors that contributed to the different shapes of social policy in the U.S. and Europe. Part Two, Key Social Policies, considers how different counties have handled commons social problems including poverty, unemployment, child and family support, retirement and disability, health care, race and immigration, and incarceration. These different social policy orientations have produced disparate social ways of lifeways of life that are now in contention for the future of Western societies.A complimentary test bank including discussion/essay questions and multiple choice questions is available.
