Social Policy Review 14
Social Policy Review is an annual selection of commissioned articles focusing on developments and debates in social policy. Social Policy Review 14 reviews a varied and interesting selection of social policy developments in Britain and internationally, and sets current policy developments in a broader context of key trends and debates.
Developments and Debates 2001-2002
Challenges and Change
Globalization and its effects became key objects of concern in the late 1990s. Politicians, journalists and academics shared this concern, often expressed as a requirement for 'less state and more market' in the new global world. Most failed, however, to support their arguments with evidence.

The attempt to provide a comprehensive account of Charti…
Form in Aristotle
