This book presents an introduction to the general problems of welfare state development. The opening chapters develop a review of competing evaluations of the historical and contemporary roles of the welfare state. This evaluation draws upon the most recent empirical research and gives full weight to an assessment of feminist, ecological and "anti-racist" accounts of welfare state development. The book constructs a distinctive history of the internatinoal growth of welfare states and offers a comprehensive treatment of the so-called "crises of the welfare state". The final chapter engages with the proponents of welfare pluralism and voluntarism, citizenship and civil society, and develops Chris Pierson's own sassessment of future prognoses for the welfare state. Pierson's calculations represent a challenge to both the defenders of welfare state orthodoxy and those who seek to displace it with a "return" to the market.

Paperback. Over the past decade, Beyond the Welfare State? has become established as the key text on the emergence and development of welfare states. It offers a comprehensive and remarkably well-informed introduction to the ever more intense debates that surround the history and, still more importantly, the future of welfare in advanced industrialised states. Comprehensively revised and re-written, this third edition of the book embraces all of the most important theoretical and empirical developments in welfare state studies of recent years. Working within an explicitly comparative framework, the book draws on a wealth of international evidence to survey what are now the most pressing issues surrounding the future of welfare: among them, globalisation, demographic change, declining fertility, postindustrialism and immigration. It draws extensively on the explosion of work on welfare states that has emerged within the North American political science community over the past ten years as well as giving detailed attention to developments with the UK, continental and northern Europe and beyond. Beyond the Welfare State? remains the most comprehensive and up-to-date guide to the complex of issues that surround welfare reform. It is required reading for anyone who wants to come to terms with what is really at stake in arguments about the future of welfare. 1992, Reprint. A very good copy with only light bumping of the wrap corners and soiling on the edges and first few pages. The contents are otherwise fine and unmarked. N° de réf. du vendeur 15511578
