The Changing Governance of Welfare: Recent Trends in its Primary Functions, Scale, and Modes of Coordination
نویسنده
چکیده
My main focus, as requested by the editors, is the changing governance of welfare. But changes in this regard are inseparable from broader changes in the welfare regimes that emerged in advanced western capitalist states in the postwar Atlantic Fordist boom. Thus I will also discuss the social and economic functions that current welfare regimes are expected to perform and the scales on which these functions are undertaken. My analysis starts from the interest in more or less radical reform of postwar welfare states and relates this to the weakening of their governance structures as well as their policy effectiveness by the interaction of various economic, social, and political factors.
