This book provides a critical and theoretically-informed assessment
of the nature and types of structural change occurring in the Irish
welfare state in the context of the 2008 economic crisis. Its
overarching framework for conceptualising and analysing welfare
state change and its political, economic and social implications is
based around four crucial questions, namely what welfare is for,
who delivers welfare, who pays for welfare, and who benefits. Over
the course of ten chapters, the authors examine the answers as they
relate to social protection, labour market activation, pensions,
finance, water, early child education and care, health, housing and
corporate welfare. They also innovatively address the impact of
crisis on the welfare state in Northern Ireland. The result is to
isolate key drivers of structural welfare reform, and assess how
globalisation, financialisation, neo-liberalisation, privatisation,
marketisation and new public management have deepened and
diversified their impact on the post-crisis Irish welfare state.
This in-depth analysis will appeal to sociologists, economists,
political scientists and welfare state practitioners interested in
the Irish welfare state and more generally in the analysis of
welfare state change.
