The Oxford Handbook of the Welfare State is a definitive guide to the contemporary welfare state. In a volume consisting of nearly fifty newly-written chapters, a broad range of the world's leading scholars offer a comprehensive account of everything one needs to know about the modern welfare
state. The book is divided into eight sections. It begins with an evaluation of the philosophical case for a welfare state. Surveys of the welfare state's history and of the approaches taken to its study are followed by four extended sections, running to some thirty-five chapters in
all, which offer a comprehensive and in-depth survey of our current state of knowledge across the whole range of issues that the welfare state embraces. The first of these sections looks at inputs and actors , the impact of gender and religion,
patterns of migration and a changing public opinion, the role of international organisations and the impact of globalisation. The next two sections cover policy inputs and their
outcomes . The seventh section consists of seven chapters which survey welfare state experience around the globe . Two final chapters consider questions about the global future of the
welfare state.

The individual chapters of the Handbook are written in an informed but accessible way by leading researchers in their respective fields giving the reader an excellent and truly up-to-date knowledge of the area under discussion. Taken together, they constitute a comprehensive compendium of all that
is best in contemporary welfare state research and a unique guide to what is happening now in this most crucial and contested area of social and political development.
