Description

In this Routledge publication, Victor A. Pestoff examines the modern challenges facing the welfare state in Scandinavia and across Europe. The book addresses critical issues such as a growing democracy deficit, demographic obstacles, and poor work environments within the public sector. Pestoff argues that the state and market alone cannot resolve these systemic problems. Instead, the text proposes a new approach that requires the active participation of citizens and the third sector. By integrating these groups, the welfare state can become more sustainable and flexible. This work provides a new perspective on creating a more democratic architecture for the European welfare state to meet future demands.
