Christopher Deeming and Paul Smyth together
with internationally renowned contributors propose that the merging of the
'social investment' and 'inclusive growth and development' agendas is forging an unprecedented global social
policy framework. The book shows how these key ideas together with the
environmental imperative of 'sustainability' are shaping a new global
development agenda.




This framework opens the way to a truly global
social policy discipline making it essential reading for those working in
social and public policy, politics,
economics and development as well geographical and environmental sciences. In
the spirit of the UN's Sustainability Goals, the book will assist all those
seeking to forge a new policy consensus for the 21st century based on Social
Investment for Inclusive Growth and Sustainable Development.
