‘These essays raise the discussion of welfare-state theory to a new level of conceptual and political sophistication.’
– Nancy Fraser, Northwestern University, US
‘On an intellectual level I am very favourably impressed with this book. It advances a theory of welfare that is concerned to find the middle way between objectivist theories and the more politicised approach that is clearly expressed in recent feminist work. These are questions that attract much attention both in contemporary social policy and also political science. I strongly recommend this book.’
– Peter Taylor-Gooby, University of Kent, UK
New Approaches to Welfare Theory draws on recent work from the sociology of social action, feminist literature and critical social theory, to counter the current impasse in social policy. Interdisciplinary in scope and including work by economists, psychologists, philosophers and social workers, it offer insights into the meaning and dynamics of claimsmaking in modern society.
