Social policy is a subject that helps develop our understanding of the meaning of human wellbeing... more Social policy is a subject that helps develop our understanding of the meaning of human wellbeing, and of the systems by which wellbeing must be promoted. As a discipline, social policy has traditionally been blunted by a focus on the nation state; however, in this age of globalisation the most pressing challenges – such as climate change, ageing populations and flagging economies – serve as proof that, even at national level, social policy is now more heavily influenced by global factors than ever before.In this important and authoritative text, Kepa Artaraz and Michael Hill provide a richly detailed contribution to our understanding of the global forces shaping social problems today. Part One discusses the different approaches to social policy and explores the process of globalisation, looking particularly at its winners and losers and the implications it has for human well-being; Part Two examines more closely the key actors in global social policy – such as the market, the state and international organisations; and Part Three provides an opportunity to explore some specific key issues of global importance, such as employment and migration, demographic change and global poverty. Adding considerable momentum to the movement away from a reductionist, nationally focused study of the discipline, Global Social Policy opens up new and stimulating discussions and provides a fresh framework for the study of human well-being. Using policy examples from areas around the world to provide a truly international scope, it is an essential read for students studying at all levels.

This chapter begins the exposition of those conceptual elements that the various streams of the New Left held together. It starts by presenting the way in which the concept of the Third World evolved throughout the 1960s. The definition of the New Left was tightly connected to the Third World and its political evolution and radicalization followed closely that of the Third World, represented and led by Cuba. As argued in chapter one, it was ultimately the political evolution of Cuba through the 1960s decade that informed the theoretical arguments and depictions about the Third World and the role it played in international power relations. This chapter follows the process by which an attachment took place between the New Left and a new international political reality in the form of the Third World, exploring their parallel histories and eventual separation. The chapter presents these parallel histories before asking what significance the Third World played in the creation and maintenance of a coherent group identity among the various constituencies of the New Left. The answer to this question, further developed in chapter eight, lies in the second key element to the habitus and content of crossfertilization that took place between the various New Left memberships and is related to the identity and role that these memberships envisaged for the intellectual.
