商品簡介
Greve (welfare state analysis, University of Roskilde, Denmark) gathers work challenging the common belief that the European welfare states are already in or are heading towards crisis and that the process of globalization takes away any hopes of eventual worldwide welfare. European and American contributors in social sciences, economics, and international relations argue that understanding the future role of the welfare state requires a broader social perspective that encompasses the interaction of economic, political, and social processes. Pension reforms, urban poverty in Western Europe, international finance, and world welfare are some areas examined. Annotation c2006 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
