    Despite constant calls for reform, policing in the United States and Britain has changed little over the past thirty years. In Policing Contingencies , Peter K.

    Taylor and Francis 2010; US$ 44.95

    Social protection is an increasingly important part of the social policy dialogue in Africa, and yet because of its relatively new place in a rapidly evolving agenda, evidence on critical design choices such as targeting, and on impacts of social protection interventions, is mostly limited to case studies or small, unrepresentative surveys. This impressive... more...
