Clearly the policies implemented by national governments and the EU have not been successful in adequately tackling this important social, economic and political issue. The New Politics of Unemployment provides a thorough comparative analysis of the present situation. It looks at how the orthodox unemployment policies of contemporary governments have failed and what new policies might be introduced. A number of radical unemployment policies, from Germany, France, Italy, Britain, Spain, Denmark, Norway, Switzerland and the EU, are outlined. These are investigated with a view to identifying the conditions under which they might become standard components of national and EU strategies to bring down unemployment. This book is the first comparative study of the politics of policy innovation in the area of unemployment. It will be an important addition to the literature of European public policy and important reading for students of comparative European politics and economics.European political science series.Radical policy initiatives in Western EuropeFull employment policiesEuropeCase studiesUnemploymentEuropeCase studiesFull employment policiesUnemployment331.13.794Compston Hugh1955-966737MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910172250703321The new politics of unemployment2193950UNINA
