Description

The Risk of Social Policy? presents a rigorous comparative analysis of how welfare state reforms and social policy retrenchment influence voter behaviour across OECD countries. This empirical study examines twenty elections to determine whether and how social policy issues drive electoral outcomes. The book addresses a fundamental research question: what are the electoral consequences of social policy performance and retrenchment? By combining quantitative analysis with cross-national perspectives, this work fills a significant gap in political economy literature by providing concrete evidence of the relationship between social policy changes and voting patterns. Essential reading for scholars, policymakers and students investigating the political dimensions of welfare state reform.
