Edited by Stephen Sinclair, Professor of Social Policy, Yunus Centre for Social Business and Health, Glasgow Caledonian University, Scotland, UK and Simone Baglioni, Professor of Sociology, Department of Economics and Management, University of Parma, Italy<i>‘The </i>Handbook on Social Innovation and Social Policy<i> will prove invaluable for academics, scholars, and advanced students of social policy, social innovation and enterprise, public management and administration, and politics. Locating the relationship between social innovation and social policy in historical, theoretical, and practical contexts, it will also benefit civil society organisations and public policymakers tasked with developing and implementing innovations and reforms in key policy areas.’</i>
- John Burroughs, Reviewer's Bookwatch,
<i>‘Bringing social policy and social innovation into important conversations, this is a must read for scholars studying the complex problems of our day. Taking a critical stance, the contributors highlight the importance of participatory practices across a range of places and issues.’</i>
- Christine M. Beckman, University of Southern California, US,
<i>‘How to reverse the disconnections between social innovations and social policy systems? This question might open up a fruitful perspective from where to read the manifold contributions to this Handbook. They deal not only with impediments but moreover with ways for a new and better intertwining of both levels.’</i>
- Adalbert Evers, Ruprecht-Karls-Universität Heidelberg, Germany,
<i>‘The contributions to this Handbook critically examine the relationship between social innovation and social policy, which is inherently a complex and dynamic one. Rather than losing itself to yet more conceptual explorations, it addresses the key policy issues of our time. This will be a valuable resource for students and researchers alike.’</i>
