Australia's welfare wars : the players, the politics and the ideologies Philip Mendes Published by UNSW Press (2003) |
Book description
Australia's welfare wars looks at the roles played by key
ideologies and lobby groups in determining welfare state outcomes with
specific reference to current theories about globalisation.
The book also looks at the roles of players such as lobby groups,
including the Australian Council of Social Services and the ACTU, as
well as the business sector, churches, welfare consumers, neoliberal
thinktanks and the media. It also explores the influence of
politics and the impact of ideology.
Using contemporary case studies and source materials, the book analyses
current welfare state policies and outcomes and questions many of the
key assumptions that underpin contemporary social welfare policies.
