It focuses on: 1) the economic and financial\ncrisis, 2) demographic change, and 3) the balance between avoiding risks and\nopening up opportunities in social policy. The results show that European\nwelfare systems tend to face the same challenges in different ways and that\nalso their responses to those challenges differ considerably. Although the EU\nalso plays a part in shaping national welfare systems, it becomes evident that\nEuropean welfare systems are by no means converging: in terms of social policy,\nnational diversity within Europe is still a major factor that will shape future\ndevelopments in European welfare systems.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2016-02-16\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9783319076799\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-3-319-07680-5\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 863\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer International Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49940330479756,"sku":"9783319076799","price":197.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9783319076799.jpg?v=1779058207","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9783319076799","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
