Welfare state reform occurs in all advanced capitalist democracies, but it does not occur in identical ways, to the same degree or with similar consequences. In Comparative Welfare State Politics, Kees van Kersbergen and Barbara Vis explain the political opportunities and constraints of welfare state reform by asking 'big' questions. Why did we need a welfare state in the first place? How did we get it? Why did we get different worlds of welfare and do we still have them? What does the welfare state actually do? Why do we need to reform the welfare state? Why is reform so difficult, but why does it nevertheless happen? Can and will the welfare state survive the Great Recession? This book informs the reader comprehensively about the welfare state, while contributing to the ongoing debate on the politics of welfare state reform.

Recenzii de la cititorii Books Express

Delcea Sergiu a dat nota:

A very well written textbook on welfare state politics, perfect to be used as a backbone for an MA-level course. The structure is clear and easy to follow, as the authors review the most fashionable topics regarding social policy in advanced capitalist democracies. There is a nice balance between classical political science approaches and some sociological angles. On the whole, the contribution of an "open functional approach" is perhaps not revolutionary, but it does infuse some well-needed dynamism into the welfare state literature.

Recenzii

'This fine book tackles sweeping questions about welfare states in industrialized democracies, such as why these welfare states emerged, how they differ, what they do, and why their politicians pursue politically risky reforms … The book, which includes an extensive bibliography of comparative welfare state research, would substantially benefit research libraries and graduate and upper-level undergraduates interested in political economy and the politics of social welfare. Summing up: highly recommended.' D. B. Robertson, Choice
