Series Statement: Handbooks of research on contemporary china series

Content: This Handbook is a timely compilation dedicated to exploring a rare diversity of perspectives and content on the development, successes, reforms and challenges within China's contemporary welfare system. It showcases an extensive introduction and 20 original chapters by leading and emerging area specialists who explore a century of welfare provision from the Nationalist era, up to and concentrating on economic reform and marketisation (1978 to the present). Organised around five key concerns (social security and welfare; emerging issues and actors, including gender issues, NGOs, and philanthropy; gaps; and future challenges, such as population ageing and environmental pressures) chapters draw on original case-based research from diverse disciplines and perspectives, engage existing literature and further key debates. Key historical insights into welfare provision in the Chinese context serve as a starting point with the remaining chapters combining a review of the literature with original case studies. The book offers novel empirical research and includes topics often not discussed in the literature on welfare in China, including: mental health, highly educated rural-to-urban migrants, NGOs as welfare providers, China's overseas welfare aid, environmental challenges and welfare, amongst others. This comprehensive and multidisciplinary Handbook will be of immense value to researchers and scholars in the fields of China Studies, social policy, the welfare state, politics and related areas. Accessible to a non-specialist audience interested in China's welfare development and welfare states more broadly, it will also serve as a useful resource for undergraduates

Content: Palgrave Encyclopedia of the Health Humanities provides a critical resource for understanding and debating the interdisciplinary research and practices in the health humanities. A seminal and international volume for students, scholars, and practitioners, this volume draws on the fields that link health and social care with the arts and humanities. The entries provide particular emphasis on the history of the field and the praxis, functions, and applications of the health humanities for public, international, and global health. Also explored are aspects of healthcare not previously considered in relation to a humanities perspective such as paramedical and allied health staff and informal carers. Suitable for undergraduates and graduates and scholars in the health humanities, humanities, arts, social sciences, public health, and medicine as well as health and social care practitioners, the major focus of the volume is to highlight the role of the health humanities in enriching the social, cultural, and phenomenological experience and understanding of illness, health, and wellbeing. .
