Equality and Social Policy
Originally published in 1978, this book presents a philosophical analysis of the principle of equality, and is also a study of the institutional implications of that principle in the field of social policy.The author distinguishes between a ‘procedural’ and a ‘substantive’ version of the principle of equality and considers the implications of both.Procedural equality is identified with the concept of equity and includes the recommendation that like cases should be treated as like.The application of this principle to some political argument in the area of social policy, such as family allowances, is discussed.The author defines the substantive principle as the rule that persons should share the same level of economic welfare.Some difficulties in implementing the equal welfare principle are discussed, with particular application to pensions policy.An original interpretation of the logical relationship between the principle of need and that of equality is proposed, and is applied to the case of the health services.The final 2 chapters deal with the institutional implications of the equality principle.These chapters analyse some major political arguments over the organisation of social policy, such as the compatibility of extensive social welfare measures with a market economy.

Researching Global Education Policy : Diverse Approaches to Policy Movement
The movement of policy is a core feature of contemporary education reform.Many different concepts, including policy transfer, borrowing and lending, travelling, diffusion and mobility, have been deployed to study how and why policy moves across jurisdictions, scales of governance, policy sectors or organisations.However, the underlying theoretical perspectives and the foundational assumptions of different approaches to policy movement remain insufficiently discussed.To address this gap, this book places front and center questions of theory, ontology, epistemology and method related to policy movement.It explores a wide diversity of approaches to help understand the policy movement phenomena, providing a useful guide on global studies in education, as well as insights into the future of this dynamic area of work.

Public Policy in the Community
The idea of community involvement and empowerment has become central to politics in recent years.Governments, keen to reduce public spending and increase civic involvement, believe active communities are essential for tackling a range of social, economic and political challenges, such as crime, sustainable development and the provision of care. Public Policy in the Community examines the way that community and the ideas associated with it – civil society, social capital, mutuality, networks – have been understood and applied from the 1960s to the present day.Marilyn Taylor examines the issues involved in putting the community at the heart of policy making, and considers the political and social implications of such a practice.Drawing on a wide range of relevant examples from around the world, the book considers the success of existing approaches and the prospects for further developments.Thoroughly updated to reflect advances in research and practice, the new edition of this important text gives a state-of-the-art assessment of the place of community in public policy.
