The book will appeal to those interested in the politics of neo-conservatism as well as those concerned about the development of the modern welfare state. It will attract readers in the fields of comparative politics, public policy, and political economy. | Dismantling The Welfare State? by Paul Pierson, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
