Description
Government Ideology, Economic Pressure, and Risk Privatization examines how economic worldviews shape social policy choices during times of crisis across eighteen OECD nations over four decades. This comprehensive comparative study by Amsterdam University Press and Routledge analyses the curtailment of social programs and tightened eligibility rules, particularly for the unemployed, that have occurred since the 1980s. The book provides an encompassing assessment of how government ideology and economic pressure interact to influence welfare state reforms and the privatization of labour market-related risks. Essential reading for scholars, policymakers, and students of political economy seeking to understand the ideological and economic drivers behind modern welfare state transformations.
