Routledge Handbook of European Welfare Systems (Paperback, 2nd edition): Sonja Blum, Johanna Kuhlmann, Klaus Schubert Routledge Handbook of European Welfare Systems (Paperback, 2nd edition)
Sonja Blum, Johanna Kuhlmann, Klaus Schubert
R1,467 Discovery Miles 14 670 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

Published ten years after the first edition, this new Handbook offers topical, and comprehensive information on the welfare systems of all 28 EU member states and their recent reforms, giving the reader an invaluable introduction and basis for comparative welfare research. Additional chapters provide detailed information on EU social policy, as well as comparative analyses of European welfare systems and their reform pathways. For this second edition, all chapters have been updated and substantially revised, and Croatia additionally included. The second edition of this Handbook is most timely, given the often-fundamental welfare state transformations against the background of the financial and economic crises, transforming social policy ideas, as well as political shifts in a number of European countries. The book sets out to analyse these new developments when it comes to social policy. In the first part, all country chapters provide systematic and comparable information on the foundations of the different national welfare systems and their characteristics. In the second part, using a joint conceptual foundation, they focus on policy changes (especially of the last two decades) in different social policy areas, including old-age, labour market, family, healthcare, and social assistance policies. As the comparative chapters conclude, European welfare system landscapes have been in constant motion in the last two decades. While austerity is not to be seen on the aggregate level, the in-depth country studies show that all policy sectors have been characterised by different reform directions and ideas. The findings not only reveal both change and continuity, but also policy reversal as a distinct type that characterises social policy reform. The book provides a rich resource to the international welfare state research community, and is also useful for social policy teaching.

The Handbook of European Welfare Systems (Paperback): Klaus Schubert, Simon Hegelich, Ursula Bazant The Handbook of European Welfare Systems (Paperback)
Klaus Schubert, Simon Hegelich, Ursula Bazant
R1,459 Discovery Miles 14 590 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

This book provides the first comprehensive information and detailed data on the welfare systems of all twenty-seven EU member states and offers the reader an invaluable introduction and basis for comparative welfare research. The introductory chapter summarizes the actual debate about welfare states and welfare (state) regimes, gives an overview on current welfare (state) research and analyses the main recent developments necessitating a new focus on European Welfare Systems. The twenty-seven chapters on the welfare systems of the member states are written on the basis of a common structure by experts from the individual states. An additional chapter analyses the current social and welfare policies of the EU and focuses on the interplay and limits between European and national social policies. Two concluding chapters provide (a) a first comparative analysis on the basis of all twenty-seven European Welfare Systems and (b) a theoretical reflection both arguing for and venturing the idea of politically limited pluralism in European welfare politics.

Challenges to European Welfare Systems (Paperback, Softcover reprint of the original 1st ed. 2016): Klaus Schubert, Paloma De... Challenges to European Welfare Systems (Paperback, Softcover reprint of the original 1st ed. 2016)
Klaus Schubert, Paloma De Villota, Johanna Kuhlmann
R5,941 Discovery Miles 59 410 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

This book provides the first comprehensive analyses of the challenges all European welfare systems have been facing since 2007, combining in-depth country-based studies and comparative chapters. It focuses on: 1) the economic and financial crisis, 2) demographic change, and 3) the balance between avoiding risks and opening up opportunities in social policy. The results show that European welfare systems tend to face the same challenges in different ways and that also their responses to those challenges differ considerably. Although the EU also plays a part in shaping national welfare systems, it becomes evident that European welfare systems are by no means converging: in terms of social policy, national diversity within Europe is still a major factor that will shape future developments in European welfare systems.

This comprehensive study, part of the International Library of Policy Analysis, brings together for the first time a systemic overview of policy analysis activities in Germany. Written by leading experts in the field - including informed practitioners - it outlines the development of the discipline, identifies its role in academic education and research, and examines its styles and methods. The book also focuses on the role of policy analysis for governments and parliaments, for parties, social partners, and interest groups. By offering a rich and timely analysis of policy analysis in Germany, this book is a valuable resource for academic exchange and for teaching, particularly in the fields of political science, social sciences, economics and geography. Moreover, by its broad, comprehensive understanding of 'policy analysis', the book will be of practical relevance and shape the debate for the future development of policy analysis in Germany and the different spheres where it is practised.

Ein amerikanischer Politologe charakterisierte einmal sarkastisch seine ei- gene Zunft so: "Political science is a device invented by university teachers to avoid that dangerous subject politics without achieving science". Die neue Dis- ziplin Politikfeldanalyse (policy analysis), die im wesentlichen in den USA vor- gedacht und entwickelt wurde, will beide Vorwiirfe parieren: Sie will politi- scher und wissenschaftlicher sein als traditionelle Politikwissenschaft. Sie nimmt die materielle, inhaltliche Politik - ob Bildungspolitik, Gesundheits- politik oder Umweltpolitik - zu ihrem Gegenstand, statt generelle politische Institutionen, Strukturen und Prozesse in den Vordergrund zu stellen, und sie will angewandte Wissenschaft sein, die konkreten Nutzen flir die Politik abwirft. In diesem Buch wird dieses komplexe und manchmal recht kompliziert er- scheinende Ineinander von Politiken und Regelungsformen, von Akteuren und Netzwerken im "policy-cycle" ausdifferenziert und in seine einzelnen Bestand- teile zerlegt, urn dadurch dem Leser einen Uberblick auf das Gesamtbild der neuen Teildisziplinen der Politikfeldanalyse zu ermoglichen. So plausibel der Grundgedanke der Politikfeldanalyse gemacht werden kann - "policy analysis ist finding out what governments do, why they do it, and what difference it makes" (Dye) -, so vielschichtig ist die Umsetzung, wenn man wirklich ernst macht mit der Analyse von "what makes the difference". Dieses Buch demonstriert diese Komplexitiit anspruchsvoll und eindrucksvoll nicht nur anhand der notwendigen US-amerikanischen Literatur, sondern auch durch die Anwendung auf Beispiele in herausragenden Teilpolitiken, ob Wohl- fahrtsstaatspolitik oder Technologiepolitik.

Es gibt verschiedene Arten Muslim zu sein. Aufgabe der Politik in Deutschland ist es, die entsprechenden Bedingungen zu schaffen. Die Eroffnung der Deutschen Islam Konferenz ist dabei eine wichtige symbolische Geste gegenuber den Muslimen in Deutschland. Zugleich muss aber auch nach den materiellen Neuerungen gefragt werden, die sich im Verhaltnis zwischen Politik und Islam ergeben haben bzw. derzeit diskutiert werden. Was sind die zentralen Konfliktthemen und worin bestehen diese Konflikte? Welche Interessen verfolgen die jeweiligen politischen und muslimischen Akteure bzw. deren Organisationen? Entgegen der teils ideologisch motivierten und haufig politisch aufgeladenen Debatte uber die Integration des Islam in Deutschland wird hier der Versuch unternommen, dass Verhaltnis zwischen Politik, Gesellschaft und Islam sachlich zu bestimmen. Anhand aktueller Beispiele und empirischer Befunde stellt der Band wesentliche Akteure und Inhalte sowie ihre Bedeutung innerhalb der Debatte vor. Dabei zeigt sich, dass eine vereinfachende Darstellungen des' Islam angesichts der islamischen Binnenpluralitat wenig hilfreich ist und einer Differenzierung bedarf."

R1,723 Discovery Miles 17 230 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

Die franzosische (Sicherheits-) Politik richtet sich hochstoffiziell darauf, die eigene Identitat zu verteidigen. Vor diesem Hintergrund analysiert das Buch, wie es um die Identitat der Franzosen bestellt ist. Grundlage hierfur ist die Untersuchung des historischen Wandels der Konzepte von Nation und Modernitat, der sich aus den damit verbundenen Mythenbildungen erschliessen lasst. Dabei zeigen vor allem die politischen Diskurse der zuruckliegenden achtziger Jahre, dass die Liberalisierung der franzosischen Wirtschaft und die verstarkte politische Offnung Frankreichs nach Europa zu bemerkenswerten Neuorientierungen im franzosischen Selbstverstandnis fuhrten. Dennoch und zugleich blieb Frankreich aber sich und vielen zentralen Traditionen seiner politischen Kultur treu - dies belegen nicht zuletzt die Reaktionen der franzosischen Politik und Offentlichkeit auf das Ende der Teilung Deutschlands und Europas und auf die Herausforderungen der intensivierten Globalisierung und der Neuen Weltordnung.
