Social Security in Global Perspective

Dixon examines the social security systems of 172 countries. Focusing on the diverse array of approaches existing today, he explores global social security patterns, recent developments, and future issues, and he assesses and ranks social security programs and systems. By providing a global perspective on social security, Dixon enables scholars, students, and social security administrators to place national and perhaps regional social security policy debates into their larger, regional and global settings. The volume is intended for scholars and graduate students in the broad fields of social work, social welfare, and social security.

Social Welfare in Developed Market Countries (Comparative Social Welfare)

Scheurell, Robert

Routledge

There has been increasing interest in the study of comparative social welfare. This book analyzs social welfare in several socialist countries such as China, Cuba, Hungary, Poland and the Soviet Union. It considers for the individual countries, the underlying ideological/value framework, describes the historical evolution of the system and examines the political, social and economic context. Each chapter looks at the structure and administration of the system and how it is financed. This is followed by a consideration of the nature of the different parts of the welfare system, a survey of social security, personal social services and the treatment of key groups such as the aged and children. This is part of the series "Comparative Social Welfare" which allows students to examine the social welfare systems of over 55 different countries. These volumes should make it possible for countries to learn from each other concerning the most efficient and efficacious methods of social welfare provision. This book should be of interest to professionals in training and practice in social policy, social welfare, sociology, social anthropology and education.

Social Welfare in Socialist Countries (Comparative Social Welfare Series)

The political and legislative changes which took place in South Africa during the 1990s, with the dissolution of apartheid, created a unique set of social conditions. As official policies of segregation were abolished, people of both black and white racial groups began to experience new forms of social contact and intimacy. By examining these emerging processes of intergroup contact in South Africa, and evaluating related evidence from the US, Racial Encounter offers a social psychological account of desegregation. It begins with a critical analysis of the traditional theories and research models used to understand desegregation: the contact hypothesis and race attitude theory. It then analyzes every day discourse about desegregation in South Africa, showing how discourse shapes individuals' conception and management of their changing relationships and acts as a site of ideological resistance to social change. The connection between place, identity and re-creation of racial boundaries emerge as a central theme of this analysis. This book will be of interest to social psychologists, students of intergroup relations and all those interested in post-apartheid South Africa.

In January 2001, the Supreme Court of Canada handed down its ruling on the Charter challenge brought to the "kiddie porn law" by Robin Sharpe’s case. Political and legal commentator Stan Persky and former senior justice department policy advisor John Dixon follow the course of Sharpe’s case through the courts from his arrest in 1995 to the verdict.
While favouring sanctions for the possession of material whose production requires crimes to be committed, Persky and Dixon remain equally concerned that child pornography law not violate constitutionally guaranteed freedoms such as thought, belief and expression – values central to democratic life.
Does the law as it now stands, with the Supreme Court’s modifications, measure up? On Kiddie Porn’s clearly thought–out analysis let the reader decide.
