Reviews

This book provides new insights, in particular in the influence of different types of individualization on welfare state solidarity, in the relation between work insecurity and the support for the welfare state, and in the constructive role of 'old' institutions in policy change. This book is a valuable contribution to the discussion on the nature of welfare state changes.[-]Dr. Robert Knegt is rechtssocioloog en als directeur onderzoek verbonden aan het Hugo Sinzheimer Instituut, Universiteit van Amsterdam[-][-]
