Through two pairs of eyes

This innovative study combines Danish and English perspectives on major aspects of the child welfare system in Denmark.
It is innovative on two counts: First, it subjects the same raw research data to separate interpretations by each of the co-authors, one Danish, one English - and then compares the two interpretations.
Secondly, it makes explicit links between Danish child welfare practice, the wider social policy context and the even more broad structures and culture of Danish Society. It critically contrasts the welfare context in Denmark with England, Its Nordic neighbours and to some extent the European Union as a whole. It is of great value to academics, students and practitioners in the fields of child care, social policy, social work, social care and comparative studies.
