Opis

This is the fi rst work that systematically applies the comparative method to the study of social policy and administration. After a full discussion of this approach in the introduction, the book offers three authoritative national studies-France, Norway, Canada-each giving a rounded picture of social policy and administration in the particular country. Social needs, resources, and forms of social administration are related to the most signifi cant social, demographic, economic, and political factors of the area in question. The authors trace the development of social policies and indicate the direction these policies are likely to take in the future. Comparisons between problems and solutions in all three countries, as well as in Great Britain and the United States are made throughout.
