A journey into the fascinating paths of Social Policy, accompanied by our values for humanity, our visions for society, our ideology for politics, and our perceptions of the economy.
The chapters of the book develop a conceptual aspect or a specific relationship of Social Policy and include: the analysis of its meaning, the principles, the values, the fields, and the purposes of it, its relationships with ideology, politics, economy, welfare, needs, rights, equality, freedom, justice, and citizenship.
The subject matter draws from the areas of basic needs, which Social Policy studies and social policies attempt to fulfill – such as health, education, work, social security, social care, social work, social participation, and the environment.
The prevailing perception that Social Policy is a concept difficult to define has challenged generations of students and scholars. The book seeks to demonstrate that this perception is now outdated.
The real difficulty of definition stems from the different approaches to complex concepts – such as need, welfare, right, equality, or justice – with which the concept of Social Policy is inextricably linked and whose existence is irrevocably tied.
The book aims not only to decode their relationship but also to inspire their reception in collective terms.
