Forty-five contributions from renowned international specialists in
the field provide readers with expert analysis of the core issues
related to the welfare state, including regional depictions of welfare
states around the globe. The second edition of the Routledge Handbook
of the Welfare State combines essays on methodologies, core concepts
and central policy areas to produce a comprehensive understanding of
what ‘the welfare state’ means around the world. In the aftermath
of the credit crunch, the Handbook addresses some of the many
questions about the welfare state. This second edition has been
thoroughly revised and updated to include an in-depth analysis of
societal changes in recent years. New articles can be found on topics
such as: the impact of ideas, well-being, migration, globalisation,
India, welfare typologies, homelessness and long-term care. This
volume will be an invaluable reference book for students and scholars
throughout the social sciences, particularly in sociology, social
policy, public policy, international relations, politics and gender
studies.
