β¦ Synopsis
Written by a prominent contributor to recent debates on the welfare state, this is the first in-depth comparison of the UK and Germany as two large, but highly distinct, European welfare states. Spanning a 25-year period, this innovative analysis provides a systematic comparison of policy change across each country in three core areas: unemployment support, pensions, and family policy.
