This book provides a study of the rise of private sector providers
in the welfare state. It compares for-profit firms as providers of
hospital services and pensions and investigates the new private
actors in social policy provision, whether they become political
actors, and the extent of their power in welfare state politics.
Focusing on Germany and the UK, the author's analysis includes,
amongst others, the surprising role of private sector firms in the
National Health Service and the halting integration of financial
sector companies in the German pension system. The book develops a
novel measure of power resources with which to capture two
dimensions of provider power: instrumental and structural
resources. This important book sheds new light on the increasingly
dominant role of markets in public policy provision by focusing on
the supply side of these markets. Readers will learn about the
drivers and contents of social policy reform, the interaction
between business and politics and the politics of privatization. It
will appeal to scholars and practitioners with an interest in
public policy, comparative politics, welfare state reform and
privatization.
