"European Welfare Futures" presents a clear and up-to-date analysis
of developments in social policy in the main EU member states. It
provides a systematic account of welfare retrenchment and assesses
the competing explanations of this process. The authors provide
convincing evidence for the view that an 'ever closer union' in
social policy will require a much more difficult process than that
which led to monetary union.
The book makes a major contribution to understanding how welfare
policy in Europe will develop over the next few years. It offers an
original and wide-ranging account of the forces affecting the
direction of policy, and stresses the role of social and political
institutions in explaining why countries differ.
"European Welfare Futures" will be essential reading for
undergraduates, graduate students and scholars in social policy,
sociology, political science, area studies and international
relations courses. It will also be of great interest to
policy-makers in the EU, especially in the areas of pensions,
health, social care and unemployment.
