International social policy

Description:

"These twelve chapters explore the main features of current welfare services and expenditures, as well as the prospects for future development in each country. Written by leading academics from the twelve countries and carefully edited, this is an expertly written and exceptionally clearly structured text. As such, it will be an essential resource for the comparative study of social policy in Europe, North America, Australasia and the Far East."--Jacket.
