Over the past decade, Beyond the Welfare State? has become established as the key
text on the emergence and development of welfare states. It offers a comprehensive
and remarkably well-informed introduction to the ever more intense debates that surround
the history and, still more importantly, the future of welfare in advanced industrialised
states. Comprehensively revised and re-written, this third edition of the book embraces
all of the most important theoretical and empirical developments in welfare state
studies of recent years. Working within an explicitly comparative framework, the
book draws on a wealth of international evidence to survey what are now the most
pressing issues surrounding the future of welfare: among them, globalisation, demographic
change, declining fertility, postindustrialism and immigration. It draws extensively
on the explosion of work on welfare states that has emerged within the North American
political science community over the past ten years as well as giving detailed attention
to developments with the UK, continental and northern Europe and beyond. Beyond the
Welfare State? remains the most comprehensive and up-to-date guide to the complex
of issues that surround welfare reform. It is required reading for anyone who wants
to come to terms with what is really at stake in arguments about the future of welfare.
