Description

Explore the evolving landscape of welfare and social change with Social Policy and Risk from Sage Publications. This book provides a deep look into how social policy addresses modern theorizing during periods of fundamental societal shifts. It is an essential resource for students and researchers looking to understand the debates surrounding social change and the impact of contemporary theory. Culpitt provides a detailed examination of key intellectual frameworks that shape our understanding of the world today. The text covers the concept of governmentality, building on the influential work of Foucault, and explores the more recent discussions on risk introduced by Beck. By connecting these theoretical foundations to practical social policy, the book helps readers navigate the complex relationship between governance and social welfare. Whether you are studying political science, sociology, or social work, this work serves as a useful introduction to the thinkers who influence social theory. It offers a clear pathway to understanding how modern debates regarding risk and governmentality impact the way we approach social policy in a changing world.
