Beskrivning
In Europe and around the world, social policies and welfare services have faced increasing pressure in recent years as a result of political, economic, and social changes. Just as Europe was a leader in the development of the welfare state and the supportive structures of corporatist politics from the 1920s onward, Europe in particular has experienced stresses from globalization and striking innovation in welfare policies. While debates in the United Kingdom, Germany, and France often attract wide international attention, smaller European countries—Belgium, Denmark, Austria, or Finland—are often overlooked. This volume seeks to correct this unfortunate oversight as these smaller countries serve as models for reform, undertaking experiments that only later gain the attention of stymied reformers in the larger countries.

Recensioner i media

This is an interesting and welcome volume - [whose] contribution - is to bring together a set of chapters chronicling the reform or sclerosis of welfare states in many of Europe's smaller countries - [arguing] that there is important variation among the small states, and that both failed and successful reforms can only be understood by understanding how old coalitions could reorganize around certain ideas of change.A" * Pepper Culpepper, European University Institute - a rich book for anyone interested in the broad theme of change in European social policy, not least because it takes up a number of areas and countries which are not often covered in the literature.A" * Christoffer Green-Pedersen, Aarhus University
