Reclaiming Social Policy [PDF ebook] 
Globalization, Social Exclusion and New Poverty Reduction Strategies

This book re-evaluates the importance of social policies in shaping well-being and combating exclusion, and enhances understanding of how these policies are formed in a globalizing world. It emphasises the context- and path-dependence of patterns and policies of inclusion and exclusion, and provides a framework for supporting social policy making.
