Abstract
Description
This book is an inter-disciplinary collaboration including several international contributions which offers a comparative insight into the strengths and weaknesses of the Social Fund and other emergency benefits payment mechanisms. The author also contributed three chapters.
The book has been reviewed favourably in several international journals (including the Journal of Social Policy), and it resulted in the editors being invited by the National Audit Office to conduct a critical literature review of the Social Fund, and to contribute to policy reviews undertaken by the Treasury.
