Social Policy
How do human societies provide for the wellbeing of their members?How far can we organize the ways in which we care for and about each other? And who should take responsibility for providing the support we need?These are some of the fundamental questions addressed by social policy today. In this introduction, Hartley Dean explains the extraordinary scope and importance of social policy.He explores its foundations and contemporary significance; the principal issues it addresses and their diverse economic, political and sociological dimensions, and concludes by looking anew at fundamental challenges facing social policy in a dramatically changing world. Introducing social policy as a broadly conceived study of human wellbeing, this revised and extensively updated third edition examines ways in which governments and peoples throughout the world attend to, promote, neglect or even undermine the things that make life worth living.These include essential services like healthcare and education; the means of livelihood – jobs and money – and sometimes intangible things such as physical and emotional security.Trying to understand these elements, which together constitute human wellbeing, is the stuff of social policy.

What is allergic asthma and how is it related to a pollen allergy?
Allergic asthma is a type of asthma that is triggered by exposure to allergens such as pollen, dust mites, pet dander, or mold. When a person with allergic asthma comes into contact with these allergens, their immune system overreacts, causing the airways in their lungs to become inflamed and narrow, leading to asthma symptoms such as wheezing, coughing, and difficulty breathing. Pollen allergy specifically refers to an allergic reaction to pollen from trees, grasses, and weeds, which can trigger allergic asthma in susceptible individuals when inhaled. Therefore, allergic asthma and pollen allergy are related in that exposure to pollen can trigger allergic asthma symptoms in individuals with a pollen allergy.

What is the difference between process policy, structural policy, and order policy?
Process policy refers to the rules and procedures that govern how decisions are made and implemented within an organization. Structural policy, on the other hand, pertains to the framework and organization of the institution, including its hierarchy, departments, and reporting structure. Order policy focuses on the sequence and prioritization of tasks and activities within the organization, ensuring that work is carried out efficiently and effectively. Each type of policy plays a crucial role in shaping the overall functioning and success of an organization.

Drug Policy
Taking a multidisciplinary perspective (including public health, sociology, criminology, and political science amongst others) and using examples from across the globe, this book provides a detailed understanding of the complex and highly contested nature of drug policy, drug policy making, and the theoretical perspectives that inform the study of drug policy.It draws on four different theoretical perspectives: evidence-informed policy, policy process theories, democratic theory, and post-structural policy analysis.The use and trade in illegal drugs is a global phenomenon.It is viewed by governments as a significant social, legal, and health problem that shows no signs of abating.The key questions explored throughout this book are what governments and other bodies of social regulation should do about illicit drugs, including drug policies aimed at improving health and reducing harm, drug laws and regulation, and the role of research and values in policy development.Seeing policy formation as dynamic iterative interactions between actors, ideas, institutions, and networks of policy advocates, the book explores how policy problems are constructed and policy solutions selected, and how these processes intersect with research evidence and values.This then animates the call to democratise drug policy and bring about inclusive meaningful participation in policy development in order to provide the opportunity for better, more effective, and value-aligned drug policies. This book will be of great interest to students and scholars of drug policy from a number of disciplines, including public health, sociology, criminology, and political science.

Foreign Policy as Public Policy? : Promises and Pitfalls
This book examines how foreign policy analysis can be enriched by ‘domestic realm’ public policy approaches, concepts and theories.Starting out from the observation that foreign policy has in many ways become more similar to (and intertwined with) ‘domestic’ public policies, it bridges the divide that still persists between the two fields.The book includes chapters by leading experts in their fields on arguably the most important public policy approaches, including, for example, multiple streams, advocacy coalition, punctuated equilibrium and veto player approaches.The chapters explore how the approaches can be adapted and transferred to the study of foreign policy and point to the challenges this entails.By establishing a critical dialogue between approaches in public policy and research on foreign policy, the main contribution of the book is to broaden the available theoretical ‘toolkit’ in foreign policy analysis. -- .

Health Policy in Asia : A Policy Design Approach
The book assesses the policy actions of select Asian governments (China, India, Hong Kong, South Korea, Singapore and Thailand) to address critical health system functions from a policy design perspective.The findings show that all governments in the region have made tremendous strides in focussing their attention on the core issues and, especially, the interactions among them.However, there is still insufficient appreciation of the usefulness of public hospitals and their efficient management.Similarly, some governments have not made sufficient efforts to establish an effective regulatory framework which is especially vital in systems with a large share of private providers and payers.A well-run public hospital system and an effective framework for regulating private providers are essential tools to support the governance, financing, and payment reforms underway in the six health systems studied in this book.

What is the difference between process policy and order policy?
Process policy refers to the set of rules and guidelines that dictate how a task or activity should be carried out within an organization. It focuses on the steps and procedures that need to be followed to achieve a specific outcome. On the other hand, order policy refers to the rules and regulations that govern the sequence or priority in which tasks or activities should be completed. It determines the hierarchy or ranking of tasks based on their importance or urgency. In essence, process policy deals with how tasks are done, while order policy deals with when tasks are done.
