Why Social Policy is Condemned to a Residual Category of Safety Nets and What to Do About it

Chapter 6 in Social Policy in a Development Context, 2004, pp 119-142 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract I would like to start by congratulating UNRISD for leading a badly needed initiative to re-think social policy in a way that does not condemn it to the residual category of ‘safety nets’. There are several stubborn causes of this problem, including the ideological one, but I choose to dwell on four that are less obvious and that also lend themselves to suggestions for a UNRISD research agenda.
