A radical new interpretation of capitalist states and their likely
future development in relation to social policy.
Focuses on the changing forms and effectiveness of economic and
social policy in the advanced western capitalist states over the
past fifty years.
Examines the question of whether the welfare state is in crisis
due to the destabilizing impact of environmental problems,
technological change, new social and political movements and
globalization.
Asks whether the new emerging welfare regime can offer a solution, and considers the alternatives.
