De la contraportada

approved by author"Understanding social welfare movements" is the first introductory text to bring together social policy and social movement studies. Introductory chapters examine the historical and theoretical relationship between state welfare and social movements. Subsequent chapters outline the contribution of social movements to the creation of the welfare state relating to Beveridge's 'five giants' of idleness, ignorance, squalor, illness and want. The book then examines the contemporary challenges posed by 'new social movements' in relation to the family, discrimination, the environment and global social justice. The book provides a timely and much-needed overview of the changing nature of social welfare and will attract a wide readership of undergraduate and postgraduate students, higher education teachers and researchers, stakeholders and activists.
