Debates about their implications for social policies and welfare reforms are now moving towards centre stage. What has been missing from such debates is an account of the history of the welfare state in relation to environmental issues and green ideas. A Green History of the Welfare State fills this gap. How have the environmental and social policy agendas developed? To what extent have welfare systems been informed by the principles of environmental ethics and politics? How effective has the welfare state been at addressing environmental problems? How might the history of social policies be reimagined? With its lively, chronological narrative, this book provides answers to these questions. Through overviews of key periods, politicians and reforms the book weaves together a range of subjects into a new kind of historical tapestry, including: social policy, economics, party politics, government action and legislation, and environmental issues. This book will be a valuable resource for students and scholars of environmental policy and history, social and public policy, social history, sociology and politics. 410 0$aRoutledge explorations in environmental studies. 606 $aclimate change$9eng$2eurovoc 606 $asocial policy$9eng$2eurovoc 606 $awelfare$9eng$2eurovoc 606 $asocial change$9eng$2eurovoc 606 $aUnited Kingdom$9eng$2eurovoc 606 $aEnvironmental policy$xSocial aspects$zGreat Britain 606 $aWelfare state$zGreat Britain 607 $aGreat Britain$xSocial policy 607 $aGreat Britain$xPolitics and government$y1945- 615 7$aclimate change. 615 7$asocial policy. 615 7$awelfare. 615 7$asocial change. 615 7$aUnited Kingdom. 615 0$aEnvironmental policy$xSocial aspects 615 0$aWelfare state 676 $a306.0941 676 $a306.0941 686 $a16.20.08$2EP-CLASS 700 $aFitzpatrick$b Tony$f1966-$0147459 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910960011103321 996 $aA green history of the welfare state$94374896 997 $aUNINA
