Synopsis

This comprehensive study demonstrates the dramatic changes that have taken place in the protection of old and new social risks, exploring the mechanisms behind these changes in the context of corporatist welfare state institutions. Central to the book is an issue at the heart of the debate in modern welfare states: the question of collective versus individual responsibility for social risks. By closely comparing three social risks, one typically classified as an old social risk and two typically classified as new social risks, this study illustrates the unique and successful ways in which the Dutch corporatist welfare state responds to changing and emerging social risks and discusses what this means for our understanding of the development of social rights in contemporary welfare states. In doing so, it provides a thorough account of important policy developments in the Netherlands that are significant beyond the borders of the Dutch welfare state. 'Transforming the Dutch welfare state' is essential reading for welfare state scholars, graduate students and policy makers.
