Description

Ben-Arieh and Gal draw together a collection of original essays by leading researchers on issues of major importance to all welfare states, alongside a special focus on developments in the Israeli welfare state. The essays dealing directly with issues pertaining to the Israeli welfare state represent an original attempt to present a full picture of Israeli social policy. By focusing on the politics and the making of social policy in a variety of countries, the essays contribute to a better understanding of the development and issues facing welfare states around the world. This book will be of particular interest to scholars, researchers, and policy makers involved with social welfare and social policy issues.
