It focuses on: 1) the economic and financial\r\ncrisis, 2) demographic change, and 3) the balance between avoiding risks and\r\nopening up opportunities in social policy. The results show that European\r\nwelfare systems tend to face the same challenges in different ways and that\r\nalso their responses to those challenges differ considerably. Although the EU\r\nalso plays a part in shaping national welfare systems, it becomes evident that\r\nEuropean welfare systems are by no means converging: in terms of social policy,\r\nnational diversity within Europe is still a major factor that will shape future\r\ndevelopments in European welfare systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eKlaus Schubert\u003c\/b\u003e is Professor of German Politics and Policy Field Analysis at the Institute of Political Science, University of Munster, Germany. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePaloma de Villota\u003c\/b\u003e is Professor of Economic Policy at the Institute of Social Science and Economics, University Complutense, Madrid, Spain. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eJohanna Kuhlmann\u003c\/b\u003e is Research Assistant at the Institute of Political Science, University of Muenster, Germany.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublication Date: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e30 March 2018\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublisher: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSpringer International Publishing\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eImprint: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSpringer\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eISBN-13: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e9783319791586\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFormat: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePaperback softback\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePage Count: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e863\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Springer International Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51957441560716,"sku":"9783319791586","price":197.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9783319791586.jpg?v=1786055102","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9783319791586","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
