ABSTRACT
Social policy in the postmodern era has yet to transform itself in many ways. It has to adapt to secondary changes, new risks and new social problems (cf. Beck, 1992, 2000), while it still has to continue to solve, and learn how to solve, old social problems, such as poverty and unemployment, as well as physical and mental ill-health in an effective and cost-efficient, as well as sustainable and preventative manner.
