Synopsis
Social policy is a continuously evolving field requiring constant review, documentation, and analysis. The Handbook of Social Policy is an attempt to document the now substantial body of knowledge about government social policies that has been accumulated since the study of social policy first emerged as an organized field of academic endeavor about 50 years ago. The Second Edition offers a more streamlined format to make the book more consistent with the way most instructors teach their courses. This text is a comprehensive yet accessible introduction to a vast field of endeavor that has, over the years, made a significant difference to the lives and the well-being of the people of the United States. New to the Second Edition Provides up-to-date policies and references to include the latest information on social policy Offers a state of the art account of American social policy at the beginning of the 21st century Presents contributions, including more case studies and examples, from leading experts in their respective areas challenge the norm in thinking about social welfare policy Focuses more attention on diverse populations and international issues Includes added content to reflect the areas that have received increased attention such as advocacy, policy practice, immigration issues, discrimination, and more Intended Audience This is excellent text for advanced undergraduate and graduate courses such as History of Social Policy, Education and Social Policy, and International Social Policy in the fields of social policy, public policy and administration, and social work., This is a proposal to publish the second edition of the Handbook of Social Policy. This handbook was originally conceptualized as a 'state of the field' of social policy that examines past, current and future directions. Since its publication, it has been adopted in masters and doctoral programs as a text and thus should be revised to stay current. Since the first edition, much has changed in US social policy, such as a new presidency and political party and the terrorist attacks of September 11th. Within the field of social work, there has been increased attention to issues of diversity and social justice. The second edition of this hanbook will follow a similar format as the first but a few key changes will be incorporated based on the editors' ideas and reviewer feedback. 1. The editors and chapter authors will update the book throughout to reflect changes in various policies and to include updated references. 2. Part IV will be moved in front of Part III to be consistent with the way most instructors teach the course.3. The chapter authors will be encouraged to add more case studies and examples. 4.The new edition will be released in dual edition and will have an instructor's manual and website with references and resources. 5. Content will be added to reflect the following areas that have received increased attention: Advocacy Policy practice Immigration issues Discrimination Pay more attention to diverse populations More attention focued on international issues
