Welfare Reform: Revolution or Retrenchment?

Samuel H. Beer

Publius: The Journal of Federalism, vol. 28, issue 3, 9-15

Abstract: This article introduces the two main themes of this special issue of Publius: The Journal of Federalism, workfare and federalism. At this early stage in the history of the 1996 Welfare Reform Act, these themes must be stated as questions rather than answers, as hypotheses not conclusions. What does the new welfare policy seek to accomplish? What are the effects—intended and unintended—of its limited devolution of power to the states? Copyright , Oxford University Press.
