Transnational Social Policy - Thryft

Global perspective on social policy in a changing world

Recommendation: - Transnational Social Policy provides an in-depth exploration of the challenges and opportunities of implementing global social policies. It goes beyond national and local interests to examine how social policies can adapt to the interconnectedness of our modern world. This book is a must-read for teachers, students, researchers, and policy makers who seek a broader understanding of social policy from a global perspective. It is also a captivating read for anyone interested in the dynamics of social policy in our increasingly interconnected world.

Description

In today's shrinking world of globalised economic activity and planet-level
ecological anxiety, social policy can no longer expect or afford to remain
solely within the province of the nation state or perhaps even within the
province of regional collections of states. To the extent that the impact
of global economics knows no boundaries, then neither should that of its
counterpart, 'global' social policy. However, in practice, social policies
remain very much rooted in national and local cultures, not to mention
perceived national and local interests. Therefore it remains difficult to
see how far, on whose terms, at what cost and to what conceivable effect,
forms of transnational social policy - or even of transnational social
policy standard-setting - are likely to come into their own. The present
collection explores this problem from an impressive range of practical and
theoretical perspectives. As such it constitutes a vital addition to the
international - hitherto mainly 'cross-national' - literature on the
subject. Thus it should/will be essential reading for teachers, students,
researchers and policy makers in search of timely supra-national
perspectives; just as it should no less excite the interested general
reader
