Governance is now a major topic in political science. To date, analysts of governance have paid scant attention to social policy or welfare state reform. In this book, the concept of governance is used to analyse the outgoing variety of the welfare mix as well as shifting responsibilities and modes of interaction.

‘A timely and empirically grounded contribution to the literature on welfare governance. Examining internationalisation, regionalisation, privatisation and re-regulation, the case study chapters open up important questions about converging and diverging governance practices.’
