Studying the political economy of welfare state reform, this edited
collection focuses on the role of public opinion and organized
interests in respect to policy change. It highlights that welfare
states are hard pressed to reform in order to cope with ongoing
socio-economic and demographic challenges. While public opinion is
commonly seen to oppose welfare cuts and organized interests such
as trade unions have tended to defend acquired social rights, this
book shows that there have been emergent tendencies in favour of
reform. Welfare State Reforms Seen from Below analyses a wide range
of social policies affecting healthcare, pensions and the labour
market to demonstrate how social groups and interest organizations
differ and interact in their approaches to reform. Comparing
Britain and Germany, with its two very different welfare states, it
provides a European perspective on the changing approaches to
welfare. This book will be of interest to those wanting to learn
more about the politics of the welfare state and of relevance to
students and academics in the fields of political economy and
comparative social policy.
