This volume presents research on the recasting of European welfare
states from the European Forum on Welfare at the European
University Institute in Florence. The chapters include both
comparative analyses of topical issues (such as reforms of the
major social programmes: pensions, health, social security and the
changing political cleavages in welfare politics), and in-depth
studies of changes in the major European countries.
The objectives are: to analyze the impact of retrenchment; reform
and add to the ongoing debates about policy convergence; the
origins of pressures for reform (domestic and internal); the
shifting balance of power between modernizers and vested interests;
and the nature of the trade-offs involved in social policy
innovation and the outcomes in terms of cost saving, resource
redeployment and equality.
