Description of
Nationalism and Democracy in the Welfare State (Globalization and Welfare series)
1788976576 pdf This multidisciplinary book unpacks and outlines the contested roles of nationalism and democracy in the formation and transformation of welfare-state institutions and ideologies. At a time when neo-liberal, post-national and nationalist visions alike have challenged democratic welfare nationalism, the book offers a transnational historical perspective to the political dynamics of current changes. While particularly focusing on Nordic countries, often seen as the quintessential models of the welfare state, the book collectively sheds light on the history of the present of nation states bearing the character of a welfare state.
