Description
Social policy and human geography are intimately intertwined yet frequently disconnected fields. Whilst social policies are always conceived, implemented and experienced in and through geography, the role of place in social policy scholarship and practice is frequently overlooked. Bringing together experts from both fields, this collection illuminates the myriad of ways that human geography offers rich insights conceptually, empirically and methodologically into the neglected spatialities of policy scholarship, practice and experience.
By building the necessary bridges towards a spatial social policy, this book enables the enhanced design, performance and understanding of social policies once properly rooted in their multiple spatialities.

Media Reviews
“This book is to be greatly welcomed. Social policy analysis has tended to neglect – certainly to downplay – the significance of the spatial dimension, and this volume makes an admirable contribution towards correcting this imbalance.” Nick Ellison, University of York
