Handbook on Austerity, Populism and the Welfare State

Edited by Bent Greve

in Books from Edward Elgar Publishing

Abstract: This innovative Handbook presents the core concepts associated with austerity, retrenchment and populism and explores how they can be used to analyse developments in different welfare states and in specific social policies. Leading experts highlight how these concepts have influenced and changed welfare states around the globe and impacted specific areas including pensions, long-term care, the labour market, taxation, social activism and gender equality.
