BEYOND WELFARE STATE MODELS: TRANSNATIONAL HISTORICAL PERSPECTIVES ON SOCIAL POLICY

Book ID/图书代码： 04289511B47936

English Summary/英文概要： Welfare state models have for decades been the gold standard of welfare state research. Beyond Welfare State Models escapes the straitjacket of conventional welfare state models and challenges the existing literature in two ways. Firstly the contributors argue that the standard typologies have omitted important aspects of welfare state development. Secondly, the work develops and underlines the importance of a more fluid transnational conceptualisation. As this book shows, welfare states are not created in national isolation but are heavily influenced by transnational economic, political and cultural interdependencies. The authors illustrate these important points of criticism with their studies on the transnational history of social policy, religion and the welfare state, Nordic cooperation within the fields of social policy and marriage law, and the transnational contexts of national family policies. This fascinating work contributes to the understanding of the current changes of welfare states by discussing the relationship between globalized capitalism and social political regulations and by arguing that transnational transformations importantly take place within and between nation states.

With its challenging and questioning approach, this cross-disciplinary book will appeal to social policy and welfare state researchers, academics and policy makers.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 几十年来，典型福利国家模式一直是福利国家研究项目的黄金标准。《超越典型福利国家模式》规避了传统研究的约束，从两个方面向现有研究文献发出挑战。首先，著书者指出所谓的标准类型忽视了福利国家在发展中一些重要的方面。第二，本书强调我们有必要设计一种更具流动性的跨国概念。更具本书所介绍，福利国家并不是孤立创造出来的，而是严重受到其他国家经济，政治以及文化的影响。作者们利用他们对各个国家在社会政策，宗教以及福利国家的发展史，北欧社会政策和婚姻法，以及跨民族家庭环境政策等几方面的研究阐明了这些批评的要点。

通过探讨全球化的资本主义与社会政治策略之间的关系，以及争辩跨国转变在国家内部以及国与国之间进行更为重要，这部充满趣味的作品对帮助读者理解当前福利国家所经历的变化非常有益。

这本跨学科的书籍以带有挑战和质疑的方法撰写而成，必将吸引大批研究社会政策以及福利国家的研究员，学者和决策者。(兼职翻译—XMM)
