- Summary:
-
"This scholarly work offers analyses, perspectives and interpretations of the normative foundation of the 'Nordic welfare state model'. Welfare programmes and institutions tend to be analysed as instrumental arrangements, overlooking the fact that welfare programmes essentially are expressions of moral conceptions and values." "This book is essential reading for researchers and students of the welfare state, and also to those in the fields of social policy, comparative politics and political economy."--BOOK JACKET.
