Christopher Deeming and Paul Smyth together with internationally renowned contributors propose that the merging of the Nsocial investmentO and Ninclusive growth and developmentO agendas is forging an unprecedented global social policy framework. The book shows how these key ideas together with the environmental imperative of NsustainabilityO are shaping a new global development agenda. This framework opens the way to a truly global social policy discipline making it essential reading for those working in social and public policy, politics, economics and development as well geographical and environmental sciences. In the spirit of the UNOs Sustainability Goals, the book will assist all those seeking to forge a new policy consensus for the 21st century based on Social Investment for Inclusive Growth and Sustainable Development. Contributors include Giuliano Bonoli, Marius Busemeyer, Sarah Cook, Guillem Lpez-Casasnovas, Anton Hemerijck, Stephan Klasen, Huck-ju Kwon, Tim Jackson, Jane Jenson, Jon Kvist, James Midgley, and Gnther Schmid.
