The Welfare State Reader has established itself as a vital source
of outstanding original research since its original appearance in
2000. In the third edition, Pierson, Castles and Naumann have
comprehensively overhauled the content, bringing it wholly up to
date with contemporary discussions about this most crucial area of
social and political life. The book includes seventeen new
selections, all reflecting the latest thinking and research in
welfare state studies. These readings are organized around
contemporary debates, such as the current trajectories of,
constraints on and challenges to contemporary welfare regimes, as
well as evolving ideas and emergent forms that constitute the
future of welfare. In particular, new readings focus on issues such
as ageing populations and low fertility, climate change and global
financial uncertainty, and nascent 'politics of happiness'. As in
previous editions, the volume begins with a collection of readings
that provide a grounding in core approaches to welfare, and each
section is set in context by a new editorial introduction. As well
as bringing together classic debates, The Welfare State Reader
represents an invaluable guide to what is happening at the cutting
edge of welfare research, giving the reader an unrivalled overview
of debates surrounding the welfare state.
