Product Description
Gosta Esping-Andersen, Europe's leading analyst of the welfare state, presents a provocative examination of postindustrial economies at the end of the twentieth century. This book takes a second look at the driving forces of economic transformation in a more sociological and institutional way. As a result, what stands out is postindustrial diversity, not convergence.

Welfare states regime bible, 2002-06-09
As in his prior book, "The Three Worlds of Welfare Capitalism" Esping-Andersen once again analyzes the western welfare states' regimes but within its current postindustrial economic changes. Addition to the variables he used in his prior book, de-commodification and stratification, he uses "familization" to explain the regimes. He also reviews many comments he got from his first regime analysis through this book and concludes that his analysis is still valid.
This book's analysis may not fit every welfare states that currently exsist but may provide good ground work? for understanding the welfare states and its current transitions with the burgeoning of globalization.
