Description: Party Politics And Social Welfare : Comparing Christian and Social Democracy in Austria, Germany and the Netherlands, Hardcover by Seeleib-Kaiser, Martin; van Dyk, Silke; Roggenkamp, Martin, ISBN 1845425421, ISBN-13 9781845425425, Brand New, Free shipping in the US This study by Seeleib-Kaiser (comparative social policy and politics, U. of Oxford, UK), van Dyk (U. of Jena, Germany), and Roggenkamp (U. of Bremen, Germany) is concerned with the relative influence of political party programs on the development of welfare state policy outcomes. It compares policy developments and programmatic welfare state concepts amongst Social Democrats and Christian Democrats in Austria, Germany, and the Netherlands since 1975, paying special attention to the development of employment, social security, and family policies. The authors argue that the ideal programmatic differences between the parties have largely faded away due to a process of Christian Democratization by the Social Democrats and that this largely explains policy changes, which have transformed the three Conservative welfare states into Liberal Communitarian welfare states.
