Abstract: Abstract As stated in this book’s introduction, ‘reclaiming social policy’ is an ambitious project. It draws on different academic disciplines and takes sides in theoretical debates, particularly around the separation of economic from social-policy analysis. The project implies a call for development agencies to come out of their silos of sectoral policy, and for social development to have a stronger focus on policy reform, also because social policy can be as regressive as other forms of public policies. Finally, the book emphasizes improved understanding of the deeply political nature of development. But its ambitious nature also leads to practical suggestions.
