Development and Social Policy

This book provides win-win strategies for social policies on the ground, as developed and put forward by the normative theoretical paradigm of Developmental Social Policy. Taking the state-of-the-art general development theory as a starting point of reference and discussion, it goes on to discuss in detail the key win-win strategies that form the basis and core of the DSP paradigm. It examines key related issues like the performance of provident fund systems, the performance of conditional cash transfer systems, universalism and extension in social security provision in the context of especially developing countries, and "non-economically targeted" social welfare benefits and services.
