Zusammenfassung:Published Under the Garamond Imprint Globalization and the rightward shift in politics in recent years have de-legitimated and largely dismantled the Keynesian welfare state that developed in the thirty year period after World War II. This book undertakes a re-theorization of social welfare, and investigates the responses of social policy advocacy organizations, feminists, and labour and other progressive movements to the downsizing and restructuring of the welfare state in Canada. The author, who teaches in the School of Human Justice, University of Regina, examines how these constituencies are engaged in the process of reconceptualizing social welfare and reformulating social policy in ways that challenge the "neo-liberal" consensus. In addition to exploring the key questions an innovative new vision of social welfare must address, the book also examines some of the strategic and practical challenges that confront social movements within Canada and internationally, in their efforts to reshape social policy goals and social welfare approaches in the context of corporate dominance of the global economy
