New Labour has concentrated many of its social policy initiatives on reinvigorating the family, community and work in the paid labor market. But just how “new” are the ideas driving New Labour’s policy and practice? In this book Simon Prideaux shows how New Labour has drawn on the ideas and premises of functionalism, which dominated British and American sociological thought during the 1940s, 1950s and 1960s.Author: Simon Prideaux Paperback: 176 pages Company: Policy Press (2005-03-23) ISBN: 1861344597 List Price: $39.95 Amazon Price: $35.95 Used Price: $50.63 
Working futures looks at the current effectiveness and future scope for enabling policy in the field of disability and employment. By addressing the current strengths and weaknesses of disability and employment policy, the book asks:·[vbTab]Is the dichotomy of 'work for those who can and support for those who cannot' appropriate to the lives of disabled people? ·[vbTab]Does current and recent policy reduce or reinforce barriers to paid employment?·[vbTab]What lessons from other welfare regimes can we draw on to further disabled peoples' working futures?Contributions from academics, NGOs, the OECD and the disabled peoples' movement bring multiple theoretical, professional and user perspectives to the debates at the heart of the book. Working futures is aimed at academics and students in disability studies, policy and welfare studies and those working in the voluntary sector, employment organisations and at street-level with disabled people.

Reform of social security and tax is at the heart of the UK government's vision to combat social exclusion, eradicate child poverty and move people into employment. Since 1997 there have been major changes in policy and administration, directly affecting the lives of millions of people and raising important issues of equity and social justice. This excellent introductory text provides students across a range of disciplines with an up-to-date critical analysis of these changes and their impact. It covers both social security policy and practice and addresses key issues such as tax credits, welfare-to-work, fraud, asylum seekers and ethnic minorities, disability, the pledge to end child poverty, and pensions. It also analyzes the impact of supra-national bodies, family change, information technology and organizational change.Paperback: 335 pages Company: The Policy Press (2003-05-28) ISBN: 1861344198 List Price: $35.95 Amazon Price: $14.95 Used Price: $15.81
Academic explanations of the resilience of the welfare state in the face of the New Right reforms have focused on the social, political and economic processes that tend to bolster the activities of state welfare provision. Alternatively, this book provides an account within the Anglo-American analytical political philosophy of the role that value commitments have played in the development of the post-1945 British social policy. Attention will not only be paid to the relationship between the New Right and Centre Left positions regarding the welfare state, but in the process philosophical solutions will be offered to some of the problems associated with moving from philosophical generality to the specific social policy. Both these levels of analysis will be combined in order to offer a normative explanation of the resilience of the welfare state. These findings will then be related to the contemporary debates regarding the modernization of the British Labour Party and recent Conservative Governments' reconstruction of the welfare state.

With new devolved administrations in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, this book makes a comprehensive assessment of the impact of devolution on social policy. It provides a study of developments in the major areas of social policy and a full comparison between Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. To what extent is it valid to speak of agendas for government driven by social policy? With new governments in each country, has a fresh dynamic been given to the emergence of distinct social policies? The impact of devolution on social policy uses a framework of analysis based on the nature and scope of social policies, ranging from major innovations and policy distinctiveness, to differences in implementation, policy convergence and areas of overlap with UK policies. This framework facilitates an integrated analysis and comparison of social policy developments and outcomes between the four UK nations. An assessment is also made of the ideas and values which have driven the direction of social policy under devolution. With devolution becoming increasingly important in the study of social policy, the book will be of key interest to academics and students in social policy, public policy and politics, and will also be a valuable resource for practitioners involved in policy making.Author: Derek Birrell Paperback: 248 pages Company: Policy Press (2009-09-09) ISBN: 184742225X List Price: $41.95 Amazon Price: $35.31 Used Price: $26.19 
Just how much influence does powerful business in the UK have on government decision making in relation to social policy? Questions concerning the power and influence of business over social and public policy are increasingly being raised, not just from within the field of social policy but also in business and management studies and, beyond that, in the news and media. They are seldom answered in any satisfactory way. This groundbreaking book investigates and documents corporate influence on social policies at global/regional, national and local levels. It argues that we cannot understand the recent history and present direction of the welfare state unless we focus on the role that business has played in its development. Spanning the complete era of the Conservative governments and the first term of New Labour, it looks in particular at: mechanisms of corporate power and influence; corporate opinion and influence in a range of social policy areas including: education, training, health and social security; changing business influence on social policy in recent years in an international context; business involvement in social policy initiatives and welfare delivery. By exploring business views and opinions, power, influence and involvement in social provision, this book helps to address important questions in social policy and, in so doing, goes some way towards closing a gaping hole in the current literature. The book's breadth and multidisciplinary approach will appeal not only to students of social policy, but also to students of business, public sector management and politics, their teachers and policy makers in the field.Author: Kevin Farnsworth Paperback: 232 pages Company: Policy Press (2004-01-28) ISBN: 1861344732 List Price: $41.95 Amazon Price: $37.39 Used Price: $47.23 
This collection adds weight to an emerging argument that suggests current British policies to make cities better places are inextricably linked to an attempt to civilize, pacify, and regulate crime and disorder in urban areas, contributing to a vision of an urban renaissance which is as much about control as it is about the broader physical and social renewal of towns and cities. The book has three key themes: the theories, strategies, and assumptions underpinning the securing of 'urban renaissance;' the agendas of current urban policy in the field of crime control; and the role of communities within these agendas.Paperback: 304 pages Company: Policy Press (2007-07-11) ISBN: 1861348142 List Price: $39.95 Amazon Price: $30.41 Used Price: $30.40 Amazon.com KindleStore: UK British Social Policy
This volume was Cole‘s first major work of political economy in almost a decade and it effectively positioned him as a mainstream Fabian who sought to stabilize capitalism before progressing socialism by essentially statist means. Influenced by J. A. Hobson and Maynard Keynes the imperative for Cole became the formulation of a strategy which would mitigate the suffering of the masses and lay the basis for socialist advance.Author: G.D.H COLE Kindle Edition: 323 pages Kindle eBook Company: T & F Books UK (2011-04-06) (2011-04-06) List Price: $150.00 Amazon Price:
