Description

Definitions of the welfare state often focus on how and why a state intervenes in the economy and welfare of the individual citizen.

A welfare state does not, however, have to mean state intervention; it may merely reflect the state's restrictions and the demands of the labor market, families, and the rest of civil society.

This book covers the history of the welfare state from Chancellor Otto von Bismarck's reforms in Germany starting in 1883 to the present day.

This third edition of Historical Dictionary of the Welfare State covers the history through a chronology, an introductory essay, appendixes, and an extensive bibliography.

The dictionary section has over 400 hundred cross-referenced entries that focus on the definitions and concepts that are the most relevant, long lasting, and important concepts.

It provides insights from major areas in social science, including sociology, economics, political science, and social work.

This book is an excellent access point for students, researchers, and anyone wanting to know more about the welfare state.
