Analysing social policy concepts and language

Where do concepts such as â¿¿welfare stateâ¿? and â¿¿social securityâ¿? come from and how has their meaning changed over time?. This edited collection, written by a cross-disciplinary group of leading social policy researchers, analyses the concepts and language used to make sense of contemporary social policy.
