This innovative book provides a multidisciplinary institutional approach to social protection, combining insights from economics, law, philosophy, political science, and sociology. It examines the role of institutions in the effective functioning of social protection systems and explores the factors driving or hindering institutional change.Expert authors investigate the rationales that underpin social protection, emphasising institutional design and the need to address the transformation of social protection systems in low- and middle-income countries. They assess the role of social protection in tackling poverty and social exclusion in these nations, as well as the challenges of operational barriers and limited coverage. Chapters blend conceptual insights with empirical applications to highlight the complementary nature of diverse institutional research. Ultimately, the book addresses the ethical considerations and international legal standards of social protection and concludes that a renewed framework is required to improve human rights globally.Presenting a holistic understanding of the field, Global Social Protection is a vital read for scholars and students of comparative social policy, sociology of development, and development studies. It will also benefit policymakers and practitioners engaged in social protection and development cooperation.
