Whilst the prevailing orthodoxy of the expenditure retrenchment
literature is that globalisation and neo-liberal ideas are leading
to a downsizing of the state, empirical research - basing its
conclusions on patterns of welfare state spending - does not
support such a view. This book brings a new perspective to bear by
looking at what has been happening to other areas of the state's
activity. Edited by Francis G. Castles, a leading authority in the
field, and bringing together an outstanding group of British,
German and American scholars, it examines trends in non-social or
'core' spending on public administration, defence, public order,
education, economic affairs and debt financing and in the
regulatory ordering of the economic sphere. The book not only opens
up new areas of comparative public policy research, but also
demonstrates clearly that there have been real reductions in the
reach of state in some areas, although patterns of causation are
more complex and varied than generally presumed by the retrenchment
literature. The research findings reported in The Disappearing
State? provide pivotal, relevant and challenging core material for
advanced undergraduate and postgraduate courses in public and
social policy, political economy and the sociology of the modern
state.
