Welfare Research: summary, description and annotation
We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "Welfare Research" wrote himself). If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.
First published in 1998. This book attempts to contribute a new framework for social research in the welfare field. As such, it engages with new theories, new approaches and new methods, alongside a constructive critique of both the old and the new. It attempts to illustrate approaches to conceptualization and operationalization within policy-relevant research, to reflect and explore both new thinking in social theory and in welfare policy, as well as to maintain a connection with old concerns. Our concern is with welfare researchboth theory and method broadly defined as the wider landscape of policy and provision captured, in the past at least, by the notion of the welfare state. The new thinking with which the book is primarily concerned involves a shift away from seeing people as the passive beneficiaries of welfare provided through state interventions and professional expertise and from seeing them as fixed single social categories of poor, old, single parent or as one dimensional, objective socio-economic classifications.

This book is the result of many hours of discussion and debate amongst the seven research teams involved in The Management of Personal Welfare Research Initiative (MPWI). The Initiative was jointly funded by the ESRC and the Rowntree Foundation between 1990 and 1995. Two of the books editors, Jennie Popay and Ann Oakley, were co-ordinators of the MPWI. They developed the original proposal for this book and negotiated with publishers. Fiona Williams was commissioned to produce one of three literature reviews which were intended to stimulate intellectual debate across the projects in the Initiative. She subsequently became an active participant in the regular meetings of the Initiative and a co-editor of this volume.
The three literature reviewson the treatment of gender, structural inequalities and measurement issues in welfare research respectivelyformed a springboard for the ideas that bind this book together. These ideas were further developed at an International Seminar organized by the Initiative researchers in the Spring of 1993. In addition to this book on welfare research, the research conducted as part of the MPWI has contributed to a sister volume: Men, Gender Divisions and Welfare, edited by Jennie Popay, Jeff Hearn and Jeanette Edwards (Routledge 1998).
Many people have made this book possible. Our thanks go to the members of the MPWI Commissioning Group, and in particular to Janet Lewis, Margaret Edmonds and Alan Walker, who supported the funding necessary to sustain a participative co-ordination model for the MPWI and for the production of the literature reviews. Our publishers and contributors should also be thanked for their patience in the face of what may have appeared at times to be editorial inertia. This volume has taken some time to produce, partly because of the scale of commitments amongst our contributors; timetables have also been stretched as the editors have redrafted key parts of the text to keep up with a rapidly transforming public discourse and political context for welfare research, policy and practice.
Several of the chapters draw on data from the studies funded within the Initiative and our thanks go to the many respondents who made this research possible. The projects include: Responses to Contemporary Change in Britains Mining Communities, Chas Critcher et al. (X206252004); The Negotiation of Coping: Disablement, Caring and Marriage, Gillian Parker et al. (L206252002); Social Support and the Health and Welfare of Vulnerable Children: A Consumer Study, Ann Oakley et al. (L206252005); Social Support and the Health and Welfare of Vulnerable Children: A Provider Study, Jennie Popay et al. (X206252006); Violence, Abuse and the Stress-Coping Process: Project 1, Women, Jalna Hanmer and Project 2, Men, Jeff Hearn (L206252003).
As with all books, there are also many people who have made a direct, yet invisible, contribution to the production process. These include the administrative staff of our various workplaces, with particular thanks to Carla Warburton for her endless fortitude chasing up and editing numerous drafts, and Gill Fernley, Nicola Doyle and Chris Saunders for various contributions without which the manuscript would not have been completed.
