The contributors to this book come from a diversity of academic backgrounds policy analysts, political theorists, historians, academic social work and among the French contributors in particular - analysts of British and French culture. Their interests converge in social and public policy and in particular in policies that are intended to have an impact on inequalities.
The result of their collective endeavours is not therefore - given the breadth of expertise brought to bear - a comparative analysis of French and British policy It is, rather, an implicit critique of'comparative social policy' insofar as the individual chapters demonstrate in a variety of ways how superficial comparative analysis will be if it fails to take account of the social and political context of policy, the differences in policy culture, and the non-transferability of many policy concepts between the two countries. Thus, the complex of ideas that surround the concept of inequality/ingalit mean different things in France and Britain; the moral weight and political urgency that attaches to them is different, and inequality policies though they may appear superficially similar, convey different meanings and evince different moral and political responses.
