Presenting diverse understandings of the origins and development of social welfare law, this globally informed Research Handbook embraces the inherent contradictions and complexities within the field. It emphasises the importance of ethical research and inclusivity and recognises the value of historical and contemporary methodologies.

The Research Handbook on Social Welfare Law illustrates the breadth and depth of modern welfare research, examining approaches that challenge the traditional boundaries of social assistance in practice. Contributors, including those from the Global North and South, explore timely and fascinating case studies, including an analysis of social insurance in India, constitutionalism in South Africa and social care in the UK. They cut across varied legal and social contexts, informing future research on a global scale.

This Research Handbook is crucial for academics and researchers focusing on social policy, particularly its patterns, histories and futures. It will provide rich rewards for students of law, social welfare and public policy.

Industry Reviews

'Ranging across time, place and scholarly disciplines, from colonial origins of welfare states to digitalisation and the Covid crisis, this book provides a rich feast of ideas for welfare state scholars. Its particular value is in the combination of theoretical and empirical research which should appeal to scholars across a wide range of disciplines and at different career stages.' -- Jackie Gulland, University of Edinburgh, UK
