Produktbeschreibung

The aim of this book is to exemplify the ways in which social work and research develop in 'advanced' welfare states - countries where public spending is relatively high as a proportion of GNP. While such countries have traditionally been associated with Scandinavian countries in particular, and North-Western Europe more generally, there are other countries where the public spend on welfare is relatively high.
