{"product_id":"transnational-social-policy","title":"Transnational Social Policy","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn today's shrinking world of globalised economic activity and planet-level\u003cbr\u003eecological anxiety, social policy can no longer expect or afford to remain\u003cbr\u003esolely within the province of the nation state or perhaps even within the\u003cbr\u003eprovince of regional collections of states. To the extent that the impact\u003cbr\u003eof global economics knows no boundaries, then neither should that of its\u003cbr\u003ecounterpart, 'global' social policy. However, in practice, social policies\u003cbr\u003eremain very much rooted in national and local cultures, not to mention\u003cbr\u003eperceived national and local interests. Therefore it remains difficult to\u003cbr\u003esee how far, on whose terms, at what cost and to what conceivable effect,\u003cbr\u003eforms of transnational social policy - or even of transnational social\u003cbr\u003epolicy standard-setting - are likely to come into their own. The present\u003cbr\u003ecollection explores this problem from an impressive range of practical and\u003cbr\u003etheoretical perspectives. As such it constitutes a vital addition to the\u003cbr\u003einternational - hitherto mainly 'cross-national' - literature on the\u003cbr\u003esubject. Thus it should\/will be essential reading for teachers, students,\u003cbr\u003eresearchers and policy makers in search of timely supra-national\u003cbr\u003eperspectives; just as it should no less excite the interested general\u003cbr\u003ereader\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAuthor: Catherine Jones Finer\u003cbr\u003ePublisher: Wiley-Blackwell\u003cbr\u003ePublication Date: 1999\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Thryft Singapore","offers":[{"title":"Like New","offer_id":45648966713625,"sku":"HN17.5.T73 1999","price":4.9,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Very Good","offer_id":45648966746393,"sku":"HN17.5.T73 1999","price":3.9,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Good","offer_id":45648966779161,"sku":"HN17.5.T73 1999","price":3.9,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Well Read","offer_id":45648966811929,"sku":"HN17.5.T73 1999","price":3.9,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0110\/0598\/4849\/products\/content_184f43a8-81ec-4eb9-9f3c-fab8c7f3ebea.jpg?v=1717720088","url":"https:\/\/thryft.sbs\/products\/transnational-social-policy","provider":"Thryft","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
