Few discussions in modern social science have occupied as much
attention as the changing nature of welfare states in western
societies. G?sta Esping--Andersen, one of the most distinguished
contributors to current debates on this issue, here provides a new
analysis of the character and role of welfare states in the
functioning of contemporary advanced western societies.
Esping--Andersen distinguishes several major types of welfare
state, connecting these with variations in the historical
development of different western countries. Current economic
processes, the author argues, such as those moving towards a
post--industrial order, are not shaped by autonomous market forces
but by the nature of states and state differences. Fully informed
by comparative materials, this book will have great appeal to
everyone working on issues of economic development and
post--industrialism. Its audience will include students and
academics in sociology, economics and politics.
