 WELFARE STATES: CONSTRUCTION, DECONSTRUCTION, RECONSTRUCTION

VOLUME lI Varieties and Transformations

‘Leibfried and Mau have done a stunningly good job finding just the right pieces on all the
important topics. . . overall this is a truly excellent set.’
– Robert Goodin, Australian National University
‘Welfare States: Construction, Deconstruction, Reconstruction is the single most formidable
compendium of welfare state writings that exists. The three volumes span all the main disciplines
and the entire range of theoretical and empirical issues of relevance. It will, no doubt, become the
point of reference for teaching and research alike. Leibfried and Mau must be congratulated for
an Opus Magnum that is unrivalled in comprehensiveness and quality.’
– Gøsta Esping-Andersen, Universitat Pompeu Fabra, Spain
Volume II, Varieties and Transformations, begins with articles defining varieties of welfare
states and then proceeds with essays on welfare state retrenchment and its roots,
globalisation, post-industrialism, Europeanisation, and global social policy.
