The Politics of Social Policy in Europe analyses and critically
assesses tensions and uncertainties which are haunting social
policy provision throughout Europe in the 1990s. The expansion in
social expenditures associated with the 1950s and 1970s has been
replaced by retrenchment and pessimism in the 1990s. Disillusion
prevails throughout the community due to growing disparity between
the objectives of policy statements and the real life experience of
EU citizens. This important book explores the relationships between
political choices and constraints, and how governments in different
countries are interpreting the challenges to the welfare state.
Additionally it critically assesses their policy options in the
1990s and beyond. Special attention is paid to the relationship
between social policy and the wider arguments of public finance,
employment, citizenship, competitiveness and the economy.
Complementing this discussion are country case studies to show how
Germany, Sweden, Britain, Denmark, France and Ireland are planning
to deal with these problems. This definitive guide will prove to be
an invaluable resource to academics and especially policymakers
involved in decision making on social welfare throughout Europe.
