This first required course in the Social Policy Sequence examines the present social services delivery system, including the profession of social work, and analyzes its historical development in the relevant political and economic contexts. Emphasis is placed on the dynamic relationship between social welfare as an institution and modern industrial/postindustrial society. Included is an introduction to some basic analytical concepts, such as universality and selectivity, institutional and residual, and public and voluntary.
