Paperback. Condición: New. This book, dealing with social policy in Southern Africa, offers a comprehensive collection of possible social policy-based interventions in Southern Africa's socio-economic and development realities, starting with the history or background to existing social policies and ultimately proposing the kinds of social policies that are ideal for Southern African countries.Southern Africa as a sub-region has a political history and socio-economic profile that allows a focused study of the sub-region, particularly in relation to socio-economic transformation. The sub-region has been shaped by complex experiences of the various groups over millennia, and the borders are a reflection of events of the colonial era which lasted well into the 20th century. Southern African countries have struggled with socio-economic development. The lack of comprehensive social policies in the sub-region is among the chief reasons for poor socio-economic development outcomes in the sub-region with progress hindered by widespread poverty, rising inequality, massive youth unemployment, female marginalization, and deficits in domestic productivity, competitiveness, value addition, infrastructure, and development planning.Demonstrating how social policy can confront the basic challenges of development in agriculture and the informal sector and showing both the theoretical and practical applicability of social policy in Southern Africa, particularly with regard to responding to contemporary regional challenges such as climate change, war and conflict, and pandemics, this book is necessary reading for all scholars and students of African politics, social policy, and socio-economic development broadly.…

Hardcover. Condición: new. Hardcover. This book serves as a comprehensive reference for conducting political analyses of emerging welfare systems in the Global South. These countries have adopted a development-oriented approach, distinct from the social policy trajectory observed in industrialized capitalist states. However, the pervasive influence of globalization since the 1990s has significantly reshaped policy priorities in these regions. Notably, political discourse surrounding social policyconcepts developed in the Northern capitalist states has gained prominence.Irrespective of the geographical focus of the chapters, the book delves into fundamental social policyconcepts and debates. These include the ongoing discourse between "universalism" and "selectivity," the challenges posed by the welfare residuum, the intricate role of institutional norms and apparatuses in achieving justice or engendering feelings of shame among social assistance recipients, and the examination of "absolute" and "relative" poverty. Additionally, the book investigates the pendulum shift within social welfare policies, the complex politics surrounding the portrayal of welfarerecipients, and the newly established link between poverty and shame.Comprising 12 chapters, the book employs a case study-based approach to test the applicability and universalityof social policy theories and concepts. The central focus lies in assessing the adaptability of concepts and theories developed in the Global North to comprehend the intricacies of welfare politics in the Global South. These case studies contribute to theoretical generalizations capable of explaining universal principles that are relevant to both the Global South and North.

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - Protecting the poor against poor health is a huge task for governments in low income settings. In this book, Cleopas explores the experience of two Southern African nations (Malawi and Zambia) in their efforts to provide cover for the marginalized and maps out the possible solutions to the challenges experienced. Although the two nations take a slightly different approach,the review found that access and utilization of health services have significantly improved in both cases.Coverage of services is however still limited. Services are free in principle but poor households still bear indirect costs and structural factors still threaten household accessibility to services.The analysis also finds the targeting strategies used in delivering services inadequate although the EHP approach used by Malawi appears to yield better results. Consequently, health systems should be strengthened and remote areas targeted. Both governments need to increase social protection budgets and donors should pool support to reduce coordination problems. Also,a quasi-internal market in health care is proposed as a viable option. Further inquiry into the qualitative effects of these policies is necessary.…
