Description

Explore the complex connection between the middle class and the welfare state in this scholarly work from Routledge. Part of the Routledge Studies in Governance and Public Policy series, this book offers a deep look into how the middle class is viewed and treated within public policy frameworks. By using an interpretive approach, the text treats the middle class as a socially constructed category. It combines discourse analysis, welfare state theory, and interpretive policy analysis to show how this group becomes a central part of public debate and decision-making processes. The research provides a comparative study of Germany, Sweden, and the United Kingdom. It reconstructs the images and meanings of the middle class within each specific country, tracking how these perceptions shape modern policymaking. This book is an essential resource for students and professionals interested in sociology, governance, and public policy.
