Synopsis:
An established introductory textbook that provides students with a full overview of British social policy and social ideas since the late 18th century. Derek Fraser's authoritative account is the essential starting point for anyone learning about how and why Britain created the first Welfare State, and its development into the 21st century.
This is an ideal core text for dedicated modules on the history of British social policy or the British welfare state - or a supplementary text for broader modules on modern British history or British political history - which may be offered at all levels of an undergraduate history, politics or sociology degree. In addition it is a crucial resource for students who may be studying the history of the British welfare state for the first time as part of a taught postgraduate degree in British history, politics or social policy.
New to this Edition:
- Revised and updated throughout in light of the latest research and historiographical debates
- Brings the story right up to the present day, now including discussion of the Coalition and Theresa May's early Prime Ministership
- Features a new overview conclusion, identifying key issues in modern British social history
