Postmodernity and the Fragmentation of Welfare eBooks

Postmodernity and the Fragmentation of Welfare reveals the ways in which the theories of post-modernity, so influential in other branches of the social sciences, might improve understanding of welfare issues in the 1990's. It assesses the relevance of theories of diversity and difference to mainstream and critical social policy.
From the seminal works of Baudrillard, Foucault and Lyotard, through to recent theories of the 'risk society', contributors examine both the challenges and opportunities presented by postmodern theories to social policy and the concept of the welfare state.
