Description

First published in 1992, this Routledge academic text provides a comprehensive analysis of social welfare systems across eight socialist nations: Czechoslovakia, China, Cuba, Hungary, Poland, Yugoslavia, North Korea and the Soviet Union. The book examines the ideological foundations underlying each country's welfare framework and traces the historical development of systems within their distinct political and socio-economic contexts. Each chapter explores the structural and administrative organisation of welfare provision, financing mechanisms, and the nature of different welfare programme components. This scholarly work offers researchers, students and policy analysts valuable insights into comparative social welfare approaches during the socialist era, making it essential reading for those studying welfare systems, political ideology and international social policy.
