| Annotation | The present study critically examines developments in the theory, policy and practice of social care, drawing on interdisciplinary developments in political theory, sociology and social policy. Using feminist and disability rights theories, it explores a critical synthesis of conflicting normative and theoretical positions regarding the giving and receiving of care, and the ethics and justice of care. It examines case studies of current comparative policy developments across a range of different welfare regimes, exploring ideological and normative trends in the design of contemporary policies. It discusses the impact of theory and policy on the practice of care, particularly in the context of long-term care for disabled and older adults. Finally, the authors argue for the development of a citizenship-based approach to care that decouples it from individualistic and paternalistic paradigms that disempower those who both give and receive care.
