Opis

Lee explains development and retrenchment of the welfare states in developing countries through an explanatory model based around 'embedded cohesiveness'.

Recenzje

'One of the book's strengths is its direct engagement with and combination of literatures on both social movements and welfare state development. The former offers an understanding of the importance of organizational structure in enacting social change, and the latter contributes a comparative framework for understanding variation in welfare state regimes.' Mikaela Smith, Mobilization
