The New Politics of Unemployment Summary
| The first comparative study of the politics of policy innovation in the field of unemployment. The contributors provide a thorough and lucid analysis of past government failures, and look to possible future strategies. |
|
|
| In this innovative study radical unemployment policies from Germany, France, Italy, Britain, Spain, Denmark, Norway, Switzerland and the EU are laid out and evaluated with respect to their political acceptability in order to determine under what conditions they would receive a sufficient level of support to be accepted as government policy and implemented on a large scale. In order to make systematic comparison possible, all the contributions use a common definition of 'radical unemployment policy', a common chapter format, and provide especially detailed analyses of a particular common policy - work-sharing. The final chapter builds on this by using a comparative perspective to test a number of current theories about policy innovation. |
