Addresses key issues in social policy, representing a social relations of welfare perspective in the journal Critical Social Policy over the last 15 years. Highlights issues of gender, race, sexuality, disability and age as central to the analysis of welfare. These social relations are shown to underpin questions of need, empowerment and social citizenship. The contributors raise questions about universal and particular arguments for welfare and suggest ways in which welfare strategies may begin to overcome the traditional dichotomies between rights and needs. Argues that the social relations of welfare must be seen as mutually constituting and as the context within which strategies of inclusion and exclusion from welfare must be understood.
