While Belgium's government announced major reforms, its social security policy remained relatively resilient. In the Netherlands, however, policymakers implemented unprecedented cutbacks as well as a major overhaul of the disability benefits program. The Crisis Imperative explains this difference as the result of crisis rhetoric-that is, the deliberate construction of a crisis as the imperative for change. It will be a valuable resource for policymakers, researchers, and anyone interested in welfare reform in the United States and abroad. 410 0$aChanging welfare states. 606 $aPublic welfare$zBelgium 606 $aPublic welfare$zNetherlands 615 0$aPublic welfare 615 0$aPublic welfare 676 $a368.3009493 700 $aKuipers$b Sanneke$0946119 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996465260103316 996 $aThe crisis imperative$92137488 997 $aUNISA
