Review:
`A clear and concise introduction to comparative social policy. It provides students with a framework in which to analyse the British welfare regime and to compare it with those developed and developing elsewhere′ - Hilary Graham, Professor of Applied Social Studies, University of Warwick
`This book is well written and presented. It develops current issues in social policy from an historical perspective in a lively and absorbing way. I would recommend it for students taking undergraduate courses, whether conventional courses, or for parts of distance-learning texts′ - Social Sciences in Health
