Have globalization pressures and neo-liberal ideas led to
convergence in how countries respond to welfare claimants? Through
ethnographic case studies of social assistance offices in the
United States, Germany and Sweden, "Agents of the Welfare State"
demonstrates persistent diversity in how states structure needs
assessment and activation efforts, contrasting a bureaucratic,
flat-grant system in the U.S., with German and Swedish programs in
which individualized assessment is a core organizational task. It
shows how responsiveness in these European programs is
institutionalized through nationally distinct legal foundations,
professional traditions, and resource networks, while revealing how
resource scarcities threaten to erode these capabilities.
