In a forward looking appraisal of the welfare state, Poverty, Welfare and the Disciplinary State examines such issues as: *the current dynamics of poverty in Britain, drawing on similar developments in Europe and the US *the major areas of social policy within which this abandonment and demonisation of the poor is taking place *the historical antecendents to this relationship between the state and the poor *the creation and expansion of a ‘welfare’ state that characterised the era of social democracy until the mid-1970s and from the point of view of the poor, was limited and conditional *the ideology and organisation of the New Right *the new terrain on which the struggle over the future of welfare and social policy must take place.Additional ISBNs0415182891, 0203003667, 9780415182898, 9780203003664, 128033472X, 1134739583, 9781280334726, 9781134739585Poverty, Welfare and the Disciplinary State 1st Edition is written by Chris Jones; Tony Novak and published by Routledge.
