The 2008 global economic crisis has led to a new age of austerity, based more on politics than economics, which threatens to undermine the very foundations of the welfare state. However, as resistance to the logic of austerity grows, this important book, the second of a three-book series, argues that there is still room for optimism.
Kevin Farnsworth and Zoe Irving are both senior lecturers in international social policy at the University of York, UK. Kevin has published widely on issues relating to the political economy of social policies and welfare states. Zoe has previously published on social policy development in small island states. Together they are co-editors of Social Policy in Challenging Times (Policy Press, 2011) and the Journal of International and Comparative Social Policy.
