Reviews

“In this fascinating book, Johansson and Panican, together with ten prominent scholars of social policy, social work, sociology, urban studies and political science, provide a multi-disciplinary review and analysis of how, in the last two decades, welfare systems and welfare provision have become more and more local, as opposed to national – that is to say, local authorities are seen as responsible for the planning and provision of welfare services.” (Avner De Shalit, Journal of Social Policy, Vol. 48 (1), January, 2019)
