Reforms in Long-Term Care Policies in Europe
Over the last two decades, many changes have happened to the social welfare policies of various industrial countries. Citizens have seen their pensions, unemployment benefits, and general healthcare policies shrink as “belt tightening” measures are enforced. But in contrast, long-term care has seen a general growth in public financing, an expansion of beneficiaries, and, more generally, an attempt to define larger social responsibilities and related social rights. The aim of this book is to describe and interpret the changes introduced in long-term care policies in Western Europe. The volume argues that recent reforms have brought about an increasing convergence in LTC policies. Most of ...
El estado de bienestar en España
Se abordan los principales debates sobre el Estado de bienestar y la política social desde finales de los años setenta hasta la actualidad en torno a los complejos procesos de reestructuración de este modelo de reproducción social y orden político, así como los nuevos cursos, agentes e instituciones de la reforma social.

Finalmente, se plantean algunos de los retos en los años venideros: la protección de la dependencia, la exclusión social y la inmigración económica.
The Left Divided
The Left Divided argues that the strength and orientation of the far left is an important and overlooked determinant of social protection outcomes.

Politicising and gendering care for older people
This book offers a new critical framework for understanding the processes of politicising and gendering care for older people and their manifestations in several European contexts. It interrogates how care for older adults varies across time and place while searching for an in-depth comprehension of how it becomes an arena of political struggle and the object of public policy in different countries and at various societal and political levels. It brings together multidisciplinary contributions that examine the issue of care for older people as a political concern from many angles, such as problematising care needs, long-term care policies, home care services, institutional services and family care. The contributions reveal the diversity of situations in which the processes of politicising and gendering care for older adults overlap, contradict or reinforce each other while leading to increased gender (in)equalities on different levels.
