Summary:"The claim that economic globalization 'necessitates' the retreat of the welfare state in advanced industrialized democracies has been widely disseminated in contemporary political, academic and media discourse. Subject to vigorous analysis by scholars from a variety of disciplines, the theoretical basis of this claim, and the empirical evidence mounted in its defence, has been systematically critiqued over the last decade. This reader brings together the leading voices in scholarship of those critical of the 'inevitability thesis' on welfare."--Publisher description.
