Full Description

This comprehensive Handbook provides a fresh analysis of the balance between the state, markets and civil society that lies at the heart of all governance frameworks. Expert contributors highlight the ways in which civil society contributes to, complements and challenges traditional welfare structures.

Bringing together key concepts such as social capital, human capital, reciprocity and volunteerism, this Handbook investigates how civil society shapes and is influenced by shifting social policies and societal transformations. It provides a multidimensional perspective on welfare provision across diverse contexts including the long-term care of older people, disability policy and the influence of NGOs on social policy. Chapters incorporate a comprehensive discussion of civil society's role, clearly mapping the tensions between voluntary initiatives and the broader involvement of the state and society in social policy. This Handbook equips readers with the conceptual tools and empirical knowledge needed to engage critically with ongoing debates and developments in these fields.

This Handbook is a vital resource for students and scholars of social policy, political science and sociology, as well as academics studying the welfare state. Its valuable insights will also benefit practitioners in welfare and social policy.
