Hi, Khalid,

I will be happy to suggest a few books on social policy, but perhaps you could be a bit more specific?

Well, it would be better if you can be more specific on the topic that you are looking for:

(i) Introduction to social policy

(ii) Social policy of a spefici country

(ii) New research direction on social policy study

I am attaching some articles on social policy. Hope that they are of useful to you.

Thanks.
