In this three-volume collection Leibfried and Mau have gathered
together the most vital articles about the welfare state and its
'reformation' written since the mid-1970s. Their choices and
organizing principles bring coherence and additional insight to
these articles which, together, provide a comprehensive
presentation of all the key empirical, conceptual and normative
issues. Volume I, Analytical Approaches, comprises a history of
welfare state theory, with essays on modernization, functionalism
and the industrialization thesis, neo-Marxist theories, the power
resources approach, managing and sharing risk, and polity-centred
and institutional approaches. Volume II, Varieties and
Transformations, begins with articles defining varieties of welfare
states and then proceeds with essays on welfare state retrenchment
and its roots, globalization, post-industrialism, Europeanization,
and global social policy. Volume III, Legitimation, Achievement and
Integration addresses the issues and challenges of the contemporary
welfare state: its justification, economic results and
entanglements, human public motivations and attitudes,
multiculturalism, gender,the generational contract. Welfare States:
Construction, Deconstruction, Reconstruction unites the work of
some four generations of the most pre-eminent scholars of the
welfare state in one cohesive, authoritative set of volumes.
