Welfare state models have for decades been the gold standard of
welfare state research. Beyond Welfare State Models escapes the
straitjacket of conventional welfare state models and challenges
the existing literature in two ways. Firstly the contributors argue
that the standard typologies have omitted important aspects of
welfare state development. Secondly, the work develops and
underlines the importance of a more fluid transnational
conceptualisation. As this book shows, welfare states are not
created in national isolation but are heavily influenced by
transnational economic, political and cultural interdependencies.
The authors illustrate these important points of criticism with
their studies on the transnational history of social policy,
religion and the welfare state, Nordic cooperation within the
fields of social policy and marriage law, and the transnational
contexts of national family policies. This fascinating work
contributes to the understanding of the current changes of welfare
states by discussing the relationship between globalized capitalism
and social political regulations and by arguing that transnational
transformations importantly take place within and between nation
states.With its challenging and questioning approach, this
cross-disciplinary book will appeal to social policy and welfare
state researchers, academics and policy makers.
