Dear List members:
(with apologies for cross-listing)
I am pleased to announce the recent publication of "Changing
Politics of Canadian Social Policy" by James J. Rice, Professor of
Social Work, McMaster University and
Michael J. Prince, Professor of Social Policy, University of Victoria.
>From the Preface:
"As Canadians enter the twenty-first century, they are grappling
with the legacy of the fiscal crisis of the state alongside tensions
between the globalization of the economy and the pluralization of
the community. After nearly a generation of neoconservative
politics and retrenchment of governments, this book argues for a
new balance between the market, the state, and civic society. We
maintain that ... social programs remain relevant and essential
precisely because of economic globalism and the growing diversity
of community life; and that the role of social policy will increasingly
become concerned with the protection of communities and groups
against market turmoil, and the recognition of various social and
cultural identities...."
Chapters include:"Changing politics: social policy in a globalizing
and pluralizing context," "Global capitalism and the Canadian
welfare state," "Diversity and equality in a pluralist welfare
community," "Gender and social policy: his and her states of
welfare," "Civil society and community capacity: links between
social policy and social capital," and "Creating a new policy
agenda."
