Global Social Policy examines trends in global inequity and summarizes the diverse experiences of different welfare regimes across the world. The authors review the social policies of international organizations such as the World Bank, the International Monetary Fund, UN Agencies and the European Union, and show them to be engaged in heated controversy regarding the future for welfare. `There is a lot of good material in this book. The detailed case studies offer real depth in reviewing the process of social policy `transition' in former Soviet-type regimes. The survey of policy-making within the major international agencies offers real insights' - Social Policy.
