Comparative Public Policy provides the first truly systematic and
comprehensive account of the transformation of the post-war state
in the advanced countries of the Western world. The author
generates new research findings which show how the economic, social
and political changes of the post-war era have reshaped modern
public policy across the OECD region. Francis G. Castles examines
the growth of big government and the emergence of the modern
welfare state and identifies ways in which the role of the state
has impacted on labour markets and such personal issues as home
ownership, fertility and divorce. He explains why the trajectory of
policy transformation has varied from country to country, with
immediate post-war policy laggards sometimes becoming leaders, and
erstwhile policy pioneers on occasions stagnating. This innovative
book presents a wealth of background data and a huge range of new
findings, covering 12 policy areas in 21 advanced industrialized
countries over a period of more than three decades. Comparative
Public Policy is essential reading for students and scholars who
wish to understand the dynamics of contemporary social and
political development.
