Towards a Spatial Social Policy

Bridging the Gap Between Geography and Social Policy
Herausgeber: Whitworth, Adam

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Bringing together experts from both fields, this collection illuminates the myriad of ways that human geography offers rich insights conceptually, empirically and methodologically into the neglected spatialities of policy scholarship, practice and experience. By building the necessary bridges towards a spatial social policy, this book enables the enhanced design, performance and understanding of social policies once properly rooted in their multiple spatialities.
