Transformational moments? -- Researching voluntary action and welfare -- Positioning voluntary action in social welfare -- Social welfare needs -- Working together in a mixed economy of welfare -- Making room for voluntary action -- Challenging the moving frontier?
Summary: During the consolidation of the welfare state in the 1940s, and its reshaping in the 2010s, the boundaries between the state, voluntary action, the family and the market were called into question. This interdisciplinary book explores the impact of these 'transformational moments' on the role, position and contribution of voluntary action to social welfare. It considers how different narratives have been constructed, articulated and contested by public, political and voluntary sector actors, making comparisons within and across the 1940s and 2010s. With a unique analysis of recent and historical material, this important book illuminates contemporary debates about voluntary action and welfare.
