E-grāmata: Research Agenda for Social Welfare Law, Policy and Practice

We are (yet again) at a pivotal point in social welfare after the global financial crisis, after Brexit, and approaching the worst recession in living memory. In this novel book, leading figures across social welfare law and policy address the methodological challenges that face us as researchers and also as actors in this unforgiving world. Full of insight, this is a book which transcends disciplinary narratives and should be read widely. Having had the privilege of reading the chapters in advance of publication, their appreciations of the field are already impacting on my thinking. -- David Cowan, University of Bristol, UK Michael Adler brings together a sharply focused selection of contributions that provide key insights into the issues facing social welfare law, now and in the future. This collection provides an in-depth discussion of the research challenges spanning different branches of law and methodological approaches, focused on different social welfare policies and on contemporary organisational developments. It makes a compelling case for how future developments in social welfare law, policy and practice need to be considered in a post-Brexit, post-Covid world. In doing so, it delivers a timely and significant agenda for research. -- Grįinne McKeever, Ulster University, UK
