Sinossi

Britain's New Labour government claims to support the cause of human rights. At the same time, it claims that we can have no rights without responsibility and that dependency on the state is irresponsible. The ethics of welfare offers a critique of this paradox and discusses the ethical conundrum it implies for the future of social welfare.The book: explores the concepts of dependency, responsibility and rights and their significance for social citizenship;draws together findings from a range of recent research that has investigated popular, political, welfare provider and welfare user discourses;discusses, in a UK context, the relevance of the recent Human Rights Act for social policy;presents arguments in favour of a human rights based approach to social welfare.·[vbTab][vbTab]The book is essential reading for anyone concerned about the future of welfare. It is aimed at students and academics in social policy, social work, sociology, politics and law. It will also interest policy makers and welfare professionals, particularly those concerned with welfare benefits and social care.
