There is increasing interest in the significance of social policy in the management of welfare and risk in the developing world.This volume provides a critical analysis of the challenges and opportunities facing social protection systems in the global South, and examines current strategies for addressing poverty and welfare needs in the region. In particular, the text explores the extent to which the analytic models and concepts for the study of social policy in the industrialised North are relevant in a developing country context. The volume analyzes the various institutions, actors, instruments and mechanisms involved in the welfare arrangements of developing countries and provides a study of the contexts, development and future trajectory of social policy in the global South.The book’s comparative and interdisciplinary approach will be of interest to anyone involved in social policy research and analysis and current welfare debates.Contributors: B.
