This edited volume, now available in paperback, provides fresh empirical evidence of far reaching transformations of the welfare state globally that have changed the boundaries of the 'public' and 'private domains within the mixed economies of welfare. By investigating the various modes of policy intervention, such as financing and the provision and regulation of social policy, it provides a nuanced account of reforms in the past decade. The book includes contributions from leading anthropologists, political scientists, sociologists and social policy analysts, and analyses key policy areas including income security, health, care, social services and education.
