Written during an ongoing period of global economic crisis, The
Welfare State as a Crisis Manager examines the practice and
potential of using social policy to cope with crises. Through an
in-depth analysis of social policy reactions in the wake of
international economic shocks in four different welfare states,
over a 40-year period, the book reveals the ways in which expansion
and retrenchment are shaped by domestic politics and existing
welfare state institutions. Moreover, the study addresses the kind
of policy change triggered by economic crisis. In contrast to
conventional wisdom and previous scholarship, reactions tend to be
characterised by incrementalism and 'crisis routines' rather than
fundamental deviations from earlier policy patterns. For the first
time, the study of domestic political dynamics following crisis is
systematically embedded in the transnational policy debate, linking
the Comparative Welfare State literature with scholarship on Global
Social Policy.
