Now featuring a full color design, the best-selling text for policy analysis provides students with a comprehensive overview of social welfare policy in the United States while examining cutting-edge issues.
Thoroughly updated and revised to reflect the impact of dramatic changes in social welfare policy, the Research Navigator Fifth Edition continues to focus on how the major sectors of social welfare policy—the voluntary, governmental, and corporate sectors—operate and co-exist (the “pluralist approach”), while also offering a clear, user-friendly framework for policy analysis.

This new material, located in the frontmatter, is followed by questions and activities that stimulate critical thinking skills. In addition, access to Research Navigator has been provided so that students may conduct further research on their own. By engaging with current issues and research, they may become more than an interested observer. They may become active participants.
