John Offer s challenging new book on the development of ideas about social
policy in the 19th century will be essential reading for teachers, students and
researchers with interests in the field of social welfare theory. Robert Pinker,
London School of Economics and Political Science, UK
The history of social policy is emerging as an area of growing interest to both
students and researchers. This topical book charts the period from the 1830s to the
present day, providing a fresh analysis of the relationship between social theory and V
social policy in the UK.
Drawing on recent historical research, the book:
•
reconsiders and challenges many long-held beliefs about the evolution
of social policy;
•
presents a wide-ranging reappraisal of links between social theories and
changes in social policy;
•
pays
particular
attention to the importance of idealist social thought as an
intellectual framework for understanding the welfare state ;
•
has a distinctive focus on the importance of ideas in the history of social policy.
Different ideas about the means and aims of social policy suggested by individualists,
idealists and Fabian socialists are examined in depth and their impacts on the world
of social policy reassessed. Special consideration is given to the history of ideas in
relation to informal care and voluntary action, as well as action by the state.
This book provides a valuable framework that exposes many of the assumptions
about the nature of welfare and its future direction, making it important reading
for undergraduate and postgraduate students, and researchers in the field of
social policy.
John Offer is Professor of Social Theory and Policy in the School of Policy Studies at
the University of Ulster, Coleraine, Northern Ireland. His main research interests are
the history of ideas in respect of UK social policy, the social theory of Herbert
Spencer, informal care and voluntary action, and the sociology of professional
interventions in everyday social life.
