Expert authors challenge traditional perspectives on questions of sustainability which have focused on population ageing, global economic turbulence and on containing current and future public social spending. The chapters present new empirical evidence in the form of in-depth comparative country studies from across Europe, offering an insight into how political actors, social partners and civil society organisations in countries associated with different welfare models address questions of sustainability and the extent to which they balance social, ecological and economic considerations. The editors conclude by mapping out ways in which welfare states can address these increasingly urgent and complex issues and facilitate an eco-social transition towards true sustainability. This book will be an invaluable resource for scholars and students of comparative social policy, environmental politics and policy and climate change. Highlighting the political and structural challenges European societies face in the transition to low carbon economies, this book will also be beneficial for policymakers and practitioners in these areas"--$cProvided by publisher. 606 $aSustainable development$zEurope 606 $aWelfare state$zEurope 606 $aEnvironmental policy$xSocial aspects$zEurope 607 $aEurope$2fast 615 0$aSustainable development 615 0$aWelfare state 615 0$aEnvironmental policy$xSocial aspects 676 $a361.65094 702 $aHvinden$b Bjørn$f1949- 702 $aSchoyen$b Mi A. 702 $aLeiren$b Merethe Dotterud 712 02$aEdward Elgar Publishing, 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910647236703321 996 $aTowards sustainable welfare states in Europe$93017893 997 $aUNINA
