In recent years, major social forces such as: ageing populations,
social trends, migration patterns, and the globalization of
economies, have reshaped social welfare policies and practices
across the globe. Multinational corporations, NGOs, and other
international organizations have begun to influence social policy
at a national and local level. Among the many ramifications of
these changes is that globalizing influences may hinder the ability
of individual nation-states to effect policies that are beneficial
to them on a local level. With contributions from thirteen
countries worldwide, this collected work represents the first major
comparative analysis on the effect of globalization on the
international welfare state. The Welfare State in Post-Industrial
Society is divided into two major sections: the first draws from a
number of leading social welfare researchers from diverse countries
who point to the nation-state as case studies; highlighting how it
goes about establishing and revising social welfare provisions. The
second portion of the volume then moves to a more global
perspective in its analysis and questioning of the impact of
globalization on citizenship, ageing and marketization. The Welfare
State in Post-Industrial Society seeks to encourage debate about
the implications of the most pressing social welfare issues in
nation-states, and integrate analyses of policy and practice in
particular countries struggling to provide social welfare support
for their needy populations.
