Critical Social Policy and the Capability Approach

0/5 ( ratings)

The welfare state as well as the political space of -the social- is currently being reorganised in a fundamental way. This has major implications for any attempt to contribute to a more just or even emancipatory way of shaping -the social-. The authors discuss what the Capabilities Approach may contribute to this attempt. Rather than assessing the philosophical foundation of this approach, -Shaping the Social- critically discusses the potentials and pitfalls of analysing social and labour-market policy and in particular social services from a capabilities perspective.
