The Welfare State and Social Work: Pursuing Social JusticeSAGE, 2007 - 439 páginas Key Features: Conceptualizes social justice as it operates, or fails to operate, under a specific system-the liberal democracy familiar to citizens of the United States; Examines how administrative centralization and political and economic power affect social policies, how these policies are conditioned by the paths embedded in the histories of previous decisions, and how a selective ideology justifies them; Offers a critical commentary following the coverage of historical periods; Systematically compares outcomes in the United States with those in other liberal democracies that have different welfare regimes, and evaluates proposals for reforming welfare in a global context." -- Publisher description. |
