Title: Social Policy in a Cold Climate
Description: The financial crisis of 2008 led the United Kingdom's Labour Government to make changes - primarily cuts - to social programs and a wide range of social services. The subsequent Coalition Government followed those changes with much more dramatic cuts. This book offers the first in-depth empirical analysis of the two governments and their approach to social policy in a period of crisis, assessing policy aims, policy implementation, and measurable outcomes.
