Social Policy Review 15 continues the tradition of providing a different style and approach to policy issues from that found in most academic journals and books. Welfare and Welfare Reform in the USA, Europe and the UK combines issues such as globalization, Europe and pensions with examination of the current and historical contexts of social policy. Chapters have been purposely chosen to review a varied and interesting selection of topical social policy developments and to set these in a broader context of key trends and debates.
Published in association with the UK Social Policy Association.
I joined the Department of Social Policy and Social Work at the University of York in September 2013. My current research interests focus around citizen participation and social media, theories of citizenship and the comparative politics of social policy – including the impact of globalization on welfare systems in economically developed countries. I have, for many years, been active in the UK Social Policy Association and am currently Chair of the SPA. Martin Powell is a Professor of Health and Social Policy at the University of Birmingham.
