The chapters include both comparative analyses of topical issues (such as reforms of the major social programmes: pensions, health, social security and the changing political cleavages in welfare politics), and in-depth studies of changes in the major European countries. The objectives are: to analyze the impact of retrenchment; reform and add to the ongoing debates about policy convergence; the origins of pressures for reform (domestic and internal); the shifting balance of power between modernizers and vested interests; and the nature of the trade-offs involved in social policy innovation and the outcomes in terms of cost saving, resource redeployment and equality. |
