Social Policy in Times of Austerity: Towards a New International Political Economy of Welfare

Editat de Kevin Farnsworth, Zoë Irving
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 14 sep 2015
The effects of the 2008 financial crisis were ameliorated by large-scale social policy interventions, which both helped limit the depth and duration of the crisis and softened its worst effects on citizens. Yet in the wake of the crisis, those very same social policies and the welfare state they support have come under attack.

There is, however, reason to be optimistic, argue the contributors to Social Policy in Times of Austerity. Bringing together leading scholars engaged in the debate over austerity and the future of the welfare state, the book traces the strong currents of resistance to austerity that continue to thrive within organizations, governments, and the citizenry at large.

Recenzii

“This is sure to be an influential book on the contemporary literature on the politics of austerity. Featuring insightful contributions by some of the foremost theorists in social policy, the book offers a remarkably powerful analysis of governments’ recent overhauls of social policies.”

“[The editors] are tackling an important agenda when they bring together a range of contributions on different aspects of the idea and practice of austerity.”

“A timely, thought-provoking collection of critical scholarship which helps to better understand the ideology, politics, and economics of austerity in contemporary welfare states and presents the reader with alternatives to the standard policy prescriptions of today.”
