Fomenting Friendship - The Politics and Policy of Interpersonal Warmth

In comparative politics and public policy, interpersonal friendship has been regarded as a matter that belongs to the private domain, rather than a site for government intervention. This book examines the ways in which friendship has been perceived in comparative politics, and the barriers to friendship that exist in capitalist society.
