Social Justice in a Turbulent Era Edited by Gary Craig, University of Newcastle upon Tyne, UK ‘Invaluable and timely research exposing the global drift of authoritarian politics of austerity, greed and hate by reengaging with the social justice values of fairness, equality and inclusion to inform centrist and alternative left-of-centre strategies. The globally-sourced case studies analyse the continuing crises of economic neoliberalism, embedded racism and entrenched poverty which have been exacerbated by Covid-19 and climate change. The reader is left to consider how the challenge facing progressive civil society is moving beyond the politics of disparate social movements towards combined action directed at public policy respecting a common humanity.’ – Graham Riches, University of British Columbia, Canada Jul 2023 278 pp Hardback 978 1 80392 614 8 £95.00 / $140.00 eBook • Elgaronline In a Turbulent Era series Welfare States in a Turbulent Era Edited by Bent Greve, Roskilde University, Denmark ‘In uncertain and turbulent times, a concise and encompassing introduction to emerging and challenging themes is a welcome contribution to the fast-changing landscape of (Western) welfare studies.

Showcasing how countries, including in low-income settings, have prioritized investments and followed differentiated pathways towards the realization of the right to social protection, it reaffirms the importance of context-specific processes, political economy dynamics and innovation. And precisely because of these differentiated pathways, social protection continues to demonstrate its central role for children’s wellbeing, elimination of multidimensional child poverty, enhancing equity, preparedness and social cohesion, and critically, accelerating human development results across the life cycle in times of crises, recovery and peace.’ – Natalia Winder-Rossi, Global Director of Social Policy and Social Protection, UNICEF Sept 2023 c 576 pp Hardback 978 1 80037 841 4 c £230.00 / c $330.00 eBook • Elgaronline Elgar Handbooks in Social Policy and Welfare For our electronic content, visit: elgaronline.com SOCIOLOGY & SOCIAL POLICY TITLES, JULY – SEPTEMBER 2023 4
