April 2011Social Policies in Malta: Social Policies in Small States Series, No. 3
Author: Rose Marie Azzopardi

This paper examines the economic, political and social development of the island, particularly since independence, highlighting the successes and failures of the social development strategies adopted and suggesting how these lessons can inform future policy decisions.
