Welfare state reform occurs in all advanced capitalist democracies,
but it does not occur in identical ways, to the same degree or with
similar consequences. In Comparative Welfare State Politics, Kees
van Kersbergen and Barbara Vis explain the political opportunities
and constraints of welfare state reform by asking 'big' questions.
Why did we need a welfare state in the first place? How did we get
it? Why did we get different worlds of welfare and do we still have
them? What does the welfare state actually do? Why do we need to
reform the welfare state? Why is reform so difficult, but why does
it nevertheless happen? Can and will the welfare state survive the
Great Recession? This book informs the reader comprehensively about
the welfare state, while contributing to the ongoing debate on the
politics of welfare state reform.
