{"product_id":"social-policy-and-the-capability-approach-concepts-measurements-and-application-9781447341789","title":"Social Policy and the Capability Approach: Concepts, Measurements and Application","description":"The capability approach, an increasingly popular conceptual and theoretical framework focused on what individuals are able to do and be, offers a unique evaluative perspective to social policy analysis. This book explores the advantages of this approach and offers a way forward in addressing conceptual and empirical issues as they apply specifically to social policy research and practice. Short conceptual and empirical chapters provide clear examples of how policies shape the capabilities of different groups and individuals, critically assessing the efficacy of different social policies across multiple social policy fields, providing both academic and practitioner viewpoints.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Erik Jansen\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Policy Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/26\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 172\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.65lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.90h x 5.30w x 0.60d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781447341789\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMara Yerkes is Associate Professor of Interdisciplinary Social Science at Utrecht University. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Jana Javornik is Associate Professor of Work and Employment Relations at the University of Leeds.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Anna Kurowska is Assistant Professor and Senior Researcher at the Institute of Social Policy at the University of Warsaw.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Policy Press","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44902482509939,"sku":"9781447341789","price":118.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/9255\/0515\/files\/img_f473cf50-eeeb-451b-a2ef-7a83b7f0355b.jpg?v=1777386740","url":"https:\/\/bookstorenmore.com\/en-de\/products\/social-policy-and-the-capability-approach-concepts-measurements-and-application-9781447341789","provider":"Bookstore N More","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
