Description and Table of Contents

Description

This volume offers a comparative and multidisciplinary inquiry into the welfare state settings of the Netherlands, the United States and Canada. Introductory chapters define the terms and present sociological reflections on the welfare state. Subsequent sections explore the different historical trajectories of the welfare state in the three countries; the literary and filmic renderings of life and culture in the welfare state and recent welfare politics, including policies, covert motives and emerging trends.
