Welfare State, Universalism and Diversity is a thought-provoking
book dealing with key ideas, values and principles of social
policies and asking what exactly is meant by universal benefits and
policies? Is the time of post-war universalism over? Are
universalism and diversity contradictory policy and theory
framings? Well-known scholars from different countries and fields
of expertise provide a historically informative and comprehensive
view on the making of universal social policies. Universalism is
defined and implemented differently in the British and Scandinavian
social policies. Service universalism is different from
universalism in pensions. The book underlines the multiple and
transformative nature of universalism and the challenge of
diversity. There certainly is need for a greater diversity in
meeting citizen s needs. Yet, universalism remains a principle
essential for planning and implementing sustainable and legitimate
policies in times characterized by complex interdependences and
contradictory political aims. This impressive book is an attempt to
untangle the multiple meanings of universalism and clarify the
concept's relevance to contemporary policy debates. It will prove
invaluable for students, researchers and practitioners in social
policy, public policy, social administration, social welfare,
social history, social work, sociology and political sciences.
Policy makers and administrators involved with social and public
policies, social services, social welfare, and social work will
also find this book groundbreaking. Contributors: A. Anttonen, A.
