Published ten years after the first edition, this new handbook offers topical, and comprehensive information on the welfare systems of all twenty-eight EU member states and their recent reforms, giving the reader an invaluable introduction and basis for comparative welfare research.

'Featuring a conceptual introduction and 28 country chapters, the second edition of this Routledge Handbook provides a rich overview of social policy continuity and change within the European Union. Scholars and practitioners interested in the evolution of social policy in Europe should read and engage with this strong volume.'

- Daniel Béland, Professor of Political Science, McGill University, Montreal, Canada

'[...]In addition to the in-depth analysis of what is happening in 28 countries and on the EU level, the reader is offered a comparative analysis of the reforms, both from a quantitative and a qualitative perspective. This comprehensive overview of recent efforts to transform European welfare state systems makes the book a must read for all who are interested in comparative social policy research. It is recommended reading for students and senior researchers, but also for professionals and policy makers who seek to learn from policy solutions from abroad.'

- Tanja Klenk, Professor of Administrative Sciences, Helmut-Schmidt University Hamburg, Germany

'Edited volumes which review social policy development in a "country-by-country" fashion seem somewhat old-fashioned in style and can often be incoherent in substance. This volume is a welcome exception. Guided by a clear analytical structure, the chapters in this compendium systematically assess key national social policy trajectories since the late 1990s across Europe. The result is an invaluable resource for all those interested in the development of advanced welfare states in recent times.'

- Jochen Clasen, Professor of Comparative Social Policy, The University of Edinburgh, UK
