- Summary
- "The New Politics of Welfare provides a critical introduction to the debates and politics surrounding welfare reform in the United Kingdom and the United States. By explaining the origins of and main tenets of the Blair-Clinton orthodoxy, and comparing policy in Western Europe with the dilemmas facing the governments of Central and Eastern Europe, this is the first text to place the reform process in the context of the present global political and economic situation."--Jacket.
