Overview
American Social Welfare Policy uses a policy analysis framework to examine national and international social welfare policy. The pluralist approach gives you the background you need to understand core social welfare concepts, grasp the social, political, and economic forces impacting social welfare policy, and analyze the major programs that make up the U.S. welfare state.
The 9th Edition features a new chapter on education and social policy. Extensive updates throughout the text explore the effects of recent domestic and international events on social welfare policy. Every chapter includes new discussions on the impact of the Trump administration on social welfare policy. New coverage explores the impacts of COVID-19, recent developments in Biden's stimulus packages and environmental policy, the rise in extremist groups, the reinstatement of transgender rights in the military, the Me Too movement and the increased divisiveness in American society.
