Social Welfare Responses in a Neoliberal Era : Policies, Practices, and Social Problems, Paperback / softback Book

Social Welfare Responses in a Neoliberal Era : Policies, Practices, and Social Problems Paperback / softback

Edited by Mia Arp Fallov, Cory Blad

Part of the Studies in Critical Social Science series

Paperback / softback

Description

This book seeks to explore welfare responses by questioning and going beyond the assumptions found in Esping-Andersen's broad typologies of welfare capitalism.

Specifically, the project seeks to reflect how the state engages, and creates general institutionalized responses to, market mechanisms and how such responses have created path dependencies in how states approach problems of inequality.

Moreover, if the neoliberal era is defined as the dissemination and extension of market values to all forms of state institutions and social action, the need arises to critically investigate not only the embeddedness of such values and modes of thought in different contexts and institutional forms, but responses and modes of resistance arising from practices that might point to new forms of resilience.
