Critical Acclaim
‘Ranging across time, place and scholarly disciplines, from colonial origins of welfare states to digitalisation and the Covid crisis, this book provides a rich feast of ideas for welfare state scholars. Its particular value is in the combination of theoretical and empirical research which should appeal to scholars across a wide range of disciplines and at different career stages.’
