In the Netherlands, Green-Pedersen shows, such consensus emerged in the mid-1980s, allowing the government to implement a number of welfare retrenchments; in Denmark, consensus did not emerge until the Social Democratic Party re-entered government in 1993, leading to less welfare-state retrenchment than in the Netherlands. 410 0$aChanging Welfare States 606 $aPublic welfare$zDenmark 606 $aPublic welfare$zNetherlands 606 $aSocial security$xGovernment policy$zDenmark 606 $aSocial security$xGovernment policy$zNetherlands 606 $aPolitical parties$zDenmark 606 $aPolitical parties$zNetherlands 615 0$aPublic welfare 615 0$aPublic welfare 615 0$aSocial security$xGovernment policy 615 0$aSocial security$xGovernment policy 615 0$aPolitical parties 615 0$aPolitical parties 676 $a361.9489 700 $aGreen-Pedersen$b Christoffer$0800856 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996208533803316 996 $aThe politics of justification$92203922 997 $aUNISA
