summary

This book aims to provide readers and students of social sciences with a foundational understanding of contemporary social policies. It presents modern theories, ideological foundations, and analytical approaches that shape today’s social policy debates. In a rapidly changing world—marked by new technologies, rising poverty, and shifting social needs—the authors explore how modernist and post modernist perspectives interpret social welfare, equality, justice, and care. They highlight the diversity of viewpoints, the tensions between traditional and emerging theories, and the challenges of designing effective policies in an era of uncertainty. The book emphasizes flexibility, critical thinking, and the importance of adapting global ideas to local cultural values, offering a broad platform for deeper study in social policy.
