Description

Social Policy and Risk offers a comprehensive exploration of welfare theory during periods of significant social transformation. This book by Sage Publications bridges contemporary social policy debates with influential theoretical frameworks, particularly examining Foucault's concept of governmentality and Beck's analysis of risk society. The work serves as an essential introduction to key thinkers reshaping social theory today, addressing fundamental questions about how societies manage welfare, uncertainty, and social change. Designed for students and professionals in politics, philosophy, and social sciences, this title updates readers on critical debates surrounding modern social policy and provides practical insights into government approaches to risk and social protection in the twenty-first century.

Key Features

Integrates Beck's risk society theory with social policy analysis to address modern uncertainties and social change.

Introduces key contemporary thinkers whose work directly influences social theory and government policy development.

Provides essential reading for politics, philosophy, and social sciences students studying welfare and governance.
