Description

Fully updated to take account of the 2008 financial crisis and its aftermath, Understanding the policy process draws on the latest and best social science to explain how and why policy change occurs. Using core concepts of policy analysis in each chapter, it builds up a fully worked explanation of policy change that can be applied to any aspect of welfare policy, public and social policy. Review I think it is the best book of its kind available for students, and I would not hesitate to recommend it. Ian Greener in Journal of Social Policy This is an exciting and innovative textbook on welfare policy making... introducing students of social policy to a wealth of perspectives and literature not often brought together in an introductory book... an outstanding text. British Journal of Social Work, review of 1st edition About the Author John Hudson is Professor of Social Policy at the University of York, where Stuart Lowe is Senior Lecturer in Social Policy and Dan Horsfall is Lecturer in Comparative Social Policy. Together the authors have extensive experience of teaching and researching across a wide range of social policy fields.
