Development and Social Policy

In recent years, government and policymakers around the world are shifting their attention away from money-oriented, supply-side economics to institutional economics and people-oriented social and economic development. Issues such as poverty reduction, win-win solutions and strategies in social policy and their implementation, universalization, and a variety of new large-scale conditional cash transfers programs have become ever-present in the global discussion about development and social policy.

This book provides win-win strategies for social policies on the ground, as developed and put forward by the normative theoretical paradigm of "Developmental Social Policy (DSP)." It is one of the few books on the market that provides full-fledged theoretical guidance that is paired with key social policy strategies and solutions, and as such it will be highly valuable for students and scholars of social policy, development studies, and Asia Pacific studies.
