Dear Colleagues,
I am pleased to share some exciting news with you.

This book aims to bring together innovative, interdisciplinary, and policy-relevant contributions on the design, transformation, and challenges of social policy in a rapidly changing global context—addressing themes such as poverty, health, education, welfare regimes, demographic transitions, inequality, and resilience against global shocks (e.g., pandemics, climate change, digital divides).
