He is a Priest in the Church of England and Priest in Charge of St Mary Abchurch, City of London, UK ‘This is an important and timely book. Malcolm Torry rightly argues that the time has come to shift social policy away from the punitive, exclusionary failures commonplace to neoliberalism and towards a more effective, compassionate, and generative unconditionality fit for the complexities of the 21st Century. Combining empirical rigour and theoretical complexity, the book makes a strong case that it is time for “an unconditionality paradigm” to emerge and argues that this could be anchored in Universal Basic Income (UBI). This is an important text for anyone wishing to re-think contemporary social policy.’ – Neil Howard, University of Bath, UK Jan 2024 c 280 pp Hardback 978 1 0353 1324 2 c £100.00 / c $140.00 eBook • Elgaronline Handbook on Social Innovation and Social Policy Edited by Stephen Sinclair, Glasgow Caledonian University, UK and Simone Baglioni, University of Parma, Italy‘ The contributions to this Handbook critically examine the relationship between social innovation and social policy, which is inherently a complex and dynamic one.

Leading scholars are given the space to explore their subject in provocative ways, and map out the potential directions of travel. They are relevant but also visionary. Written by a global collective of scholars from a wide variety of backgrounds, including health studies, psychology and economics as well as social policy and gerontology, this timely Research Agenda highlights the challenges and opportunities of rising longevity and population ageing for social policy providing clear directions for future research. Divided into five comprehensive parts, this Research Agenda examines research priorities from policy perspectives, the role of social policy research in relation to intergovernmental organisations, and the framework for future-oriented social policies on ageing provided by a life-course approach. It demonstrates that social policy experts must evaluate interests and expectations both qualitatively and quantitatively, and asserts that future research on social policy and ageing will be inspired by a broad range of stakeholders, including non-governmental interest organisations and state actors. A Research Agenda for Ageing and Social Policy will be enlightening for students and researchers focusing on social policy, ageing, development, health policy and inequality. It will also be a fascinating read for practitioners seeking a wider understanding of social policy priorities and processes. Kai Leichsenring is Executive Director and Alexandre Sidorenko is Senior Advisor at the European Centre for Social Welfare Policy and Research, affiliated to the United Nations at Vienna, Austria.
