Publication: Journal of Comparative Social Welfare

"The volume is organized around three sections on: socially inclusive structural change; transformative social policy and poverty reduction; and the politics of poverty reduction that include 11 chapters. Each chapter has a number of relevant subchapters that spell out various dimensions of these three major foci. No volume has covered so much in depth as this one demonstrably has. ... The UNRISD deserves credit for the publication of this monumental study."
