Abstract: This Research Handbook provides a comprehensive exploration of recent advances in social care policy scholarship. Spanning a breadth of issues and policy programmes, it presents a systematic, empirically and theoretically grounded overview of social care policy research, addressing a notable gap in a field often dominated by issue or country-specific studies.
