It gathers leading scholars in the field to offer both in-depth historical country case studies and comparative chapters that discuss contemporary developments. Composed of six archive-based historical narratives of business' role in the development of social insurance programs in Germany, Finland, the Netherlands, Switzerland, the United Kingdom and the United States, and six comparative case studies, this volume also extends the study of business to policy fields that have hitherto received little attention in the literature, such as active labor market policies, educational policies, employment protection legislation, healthcare, private pension programs and workfamily policies. It illuminates why business groups have responded so very differently to demands for increased social protection against different labor market risks in different countries and over time. This text will be of key interest to students and scholars of comparative welfare, political science, sociology, social policy studies, comparative political economy and welfare history. 606 $aSocial responsibility of business$xPolitical aspects 606 $aBusiness and politics 606 $aSocial policy$xEconomic aspects 606 $aWelfare state 610 $aBusiness 610 $aDevelopment 610 $aInterests 610 $aModern 610 $aState 610 $aWelfare 615 0$aSocial responsibility of business$xPolitical aspects. 615 0$aBusiness and politics. 615 0$aSocial policy$xEconomic aspects. 615 0$aWelfare state. 676 $a330.126 700 $aEichenberger$b Pierre$4edt$01451426 702 $aNijhuis$b Dennie Oude$f1979- 801 0$bOCoLC-P 801 1$bOCoLC-P 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910765891803321 996 $aBusiness interests and the development of the modern welfare state$93651724 997 $aUNINA
