Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The development of the Dutch welfare state in the Netherlands started later than in other Western European countries, but once it started, it grew at a spectacular rate. The development was so rapid that it catapulted the Dutch from being welfare laggards to being welfare leaders. Cox charts the course of this growth, from the nineteenth century to the present, placing the Dutch case within the larger theoretical discussion of welfare states.In so doing, Cox challenges the widely held assumption that welfare programs always represent the policies of the social democratic left. He demonstrates that it was not the left but the more centrist religious parties that built the Dutch welfare state in the 1960s. Even more curious is the fact that these same political forces had resisted the expansion of welfare programs throughout the first half of the twentieth century.In many ways, the Netherlands is a crucial test case for assumptions about the welfare state. Its system is one of the largest in the world, rivaling Sweden's as one that devotes the greatest share of public spending to social welfare. How does it compare to other countries? Do present theories of welfare state development fit the Dutch case? What can we learn from the experience of a small state?Cox makes a signal contribution in clarifying the historical record concerning a little-studied country and in advancing theoretical debate.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines how the Netherlands managed to create and maintain one of the world's most generous and inclusive welfare systems despite having been dominated by Christian-democratic or YconservativeOE, rather than socialist dominated governments, for most of the post-war period. It emphasizes that such systems have strong consequences for the distribution of income and risk among different segments of society and argues that they could consequently only emerge in countries where middle class groups were unable to utilize their key electoral and strong labor market position to mobilize against the adverse consequences of redistribution for them. By illustrating their key role in the coming about of solidaristic welfare reform in the Netherlands, the book also offers a novel view of the roles of Christian-democracy and the labor union movement in the development of modern welfare states. By highlighting how welfare reform contributed to the employment miracle of the 1990s, the book sheds new light on how countries are able to combine high levels of welfare generosity and solidarity with successful macro-economic performance.

This book was released on 1992 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the years following World War II, the concept of State Welfare did seem to be the golden mean between Marxian revolution and laissez faire evolution in the human pursuit of social justice. Western democratic states that upheld the primacy of the individual and his liberty over that of the 'State' operationalized State responsibility for welfare on the basis of social policies compatible with their socio-political and economic systems. This resulted in the coming into existence of a large number of services rendered by the State to its citizens touching all aspects of their lives, cutting through informal, intermediary institutions, and developing a direct link with it. The focus of this study is on these services in two such states, i.e., the Netherlands and the United Kingdom. Their provision and administration for ethnic minorities that form part of their national communities is dealt with in particular. The Netherlands and the United Kingdom have constitutional monarchical systems based on the sovereignty of the people. Liberalism is an underlying sociological base for their societies. Both had acquired overseas colonies which resulted in the settlement of people with ethnic origins different from their dominant group within their national communities. These factors make the two comparable. However, the ideological basis, social and economic forces and movements that led to the establishment of State welfare in the two states differ significantly. The study reveals that their particular ideological positions on State-Society relations have a significant impact on social policies adopted by them and in the modalities of their implementation. The British stand on assimilation in one dominant culture and the Dutch stand on integration with acceptance of pluralism throw up the genuine problems in the harmonization of social policy in a United Europe of the future.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The sustainability and architecture of today's European welfare states and social security systems are under pressure. In addition to general trends such as individualization, ageing, and migration, the very process of European integration and globalization drives welfare states to reform. In this collection of essays five leading foreign welfare state experts reflect on the nature of the Dutch welfare state in a changing Europe. Comparative commentary from abroad provides policy wisdom as well as illuminating asides about national debates. These reflections from experts of neighboring countries (Germany, France, the United Kingdom, and Belgium) and the United States focus on various aspects of the Dutch welfare state, such as social security, labor market policy, health care, and immigration, and carry the intellectual discussion of a pressing political issue across borders. In this way the book contributes to the political debate on the future of the welfare state in the European context. It offers an interesting and provoking mosaic of the Dutch welfare state during the past two decades. At the same time, it reveals the important questions and dilemmas the Netherlands will have to cope with in the years to come. The observations and insights enrich the debate about the future of social policy in the Netherlands and in the European Union as a whole.

Book excerpt: The goal of this paper is to assess how recent reforms in social security and labour law have affected individual right claims in the Netherlands. We describe reforms of several welfare state programs such as unemployment, disability and social assistance benefit schemes. The Dutch welfare state is still a relatively extensive one, spending 45 percent of its budget on social policies. Above all, social policies are increasingly aimed at activation. Notwithstanding the positive effects of activation measures on the reintegration of disabled employees and social assistance recipients, we express some concerns regarding the safeguarding of rights to an adequate income.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: De literatuur over welvaartsstaten richt zich vaak op beleidsveranderingsprocessen en de mechanismen die deze veranderingen veroorzaken of tegenwerken. De werkelijke verandering wordt vaak geïnterpreteerd als gevolg van externe crises of als gevolg van de meer geleidelijke beleidsveranderingsprocessen. Dit boek heeft een ander uitgangspunt: de auteurs onderzoeken de bewering dat de sociale en economische veranderingen als gevolg van de overgang naar een postindustriële samenleving de sociale fundamenten van de verzorgingsstaat hebben verzwakt.
