| Publisher Description: As the state withdraws from welfare provision, the mixed economy of welfare - involving private, voluntary and informal sectors - has become ever more important. This second edition of Powell's acclaimed textbook on the subject brings together a wealth of respected contributors and contains helpful features such as summaries, questions for discussion, further reading suggestions and electronic resources. It will be a valuable introductory resource for students of social policy, social welfare and social work at both undergraduate and postgraduate level. |
Contributor Bio(s): Powell, Martin: - Martin Powell is professor of health and social policy in the Health Services Management Centre at the University of Birmingham. He is the editor of several books exploring the New Labour Governments and the British welfare state. |
