In this three-volume collection, Leibfried and Mau have gathered together the most vital articles about the welfare state and its 'reformation' written since the mid-1970s. Their choices and organising principles bring coherence and additional insight to these articles that, together, provide a comprehensive presentation of all the key empirical, conceptual and normative issues.Volume I, "Analytical Approaches", comprises a history of welfare state theory, with essays on modernisation, functionalism and the industrialisation thesis, neo-Marxist theories, the power resources approach, managing and sharing risks, and polity-centred and institutional approaches. 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. Volume III, "Legitimation, Achievement and Integration" addresses the issues and challenges of the contemporary welfare state: its justification, economic results and entanglements, human public motivations and attitudes, multiculturalism, gender,the generational contract." Welfare States: Construction, Deconstruction, Reconstruction" unites the work of some four generations of the most pre-eminent scholars of the welfare state - in one cohesive, authoritative set of volumes.
