This framework opens the way to a truly globalsocial policy discipline making it essential reading for those working insocial and public policy, politics,economics and development as well geographical and environmental sciences. Inthe spirit of the UN's Sustainability Goals, the book will assist all thoseseeking to forge a new policy consensus for the 21st century based on SocialInvestment for Inclusive Growth and Sustainable Development.
