It highlights intersections between powerful business interests, the  state, and social forces that sowed the seeds of social entitlements. Due to  different mobilisation efforts of these social actors, both countries have spawned  welfare regimes of different persuasions. Mauritius has maintained its long-standing traditions as a social democracy stretching back to the late 1950s, while  South Africa continues relentlessly in pursuit of a liberal welfare state, a journey  it has treaded since 1928 when the old-age pension laws first came into effect.  While unravelling the innermost workings of welfare state development in  Mauritius and South Africa, it also probes the present political and economic  circumstances that have kept these two welfare regimes resolutely unchanged.  Against this backdrop, it draws parallels between current welfare outcomes and  those of old as they continue to chart their way into the future.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Palgrave Macmillan\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2024-02-21\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9783031504495\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-3-031-50450-1\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 210cm x148cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 234\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer International Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47676318285964,"sku":"9783031504495","price":116.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9783031504495.jpg?v=1776548487","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9783031504495","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
