Sommario/riassunto |
|
This pioneering study investigates the consequences of social indivualization and economic globalization on the welfare state.

The editors of this important volume bring together a wide range of papers that approach this topic from a variety of perspectives, and they provide a vital new tool for understanding how welfare states operate. |
