This concise text provides a wide-ranging account of welfare conditionality as a policy mechanism for changing people's behaviour. It charts the rise of conditionality in welfare systems across the developed and developing world and assesses its political appeal and practical application to a host of social issues, including employment, housing, health and criminal justice. It explores how welfare conditionality is justified and contested, what its techniques are and how it impacts on the lives of welfare recipients, intentionally or otherwise. This stimulating and authoritative analysis is ideal for students of political and social science interested in social policy and welfare reform.
