The ongoing social crises and moral conflicts evident in global social policy debates are addressed in this timely volume.

Leading interdisciplinary scholars focus on the 'social' of social policy, which is increasingly conceived in a globalised form, as new international agreements and global goals engender the social struggle. They tackle pressing 'social questions' concerning growing inequality, changing world population, ageing societies, migration and intersectional disadvantage.

This ground-breaking volume critically engages with contested conceptions of 'the social' which are increasingly deployed by international institutions and policy makers. Growing debates on 'social sustainability', 'social cohesion', 'social justice', 'social wellbeing' and 'social progress' make the discussions in this critical text even more crucial.
