Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Exerpt from Financial Times Comment & Analysis: Europe takes on reform of welfare state: A new study indicates that while UK has transformed its social policies, rest of Europe has been far from idle - '[A] stimulating new book on European welfare states [Welfare States under Pressure] suggests that view of Britain as only great welfare state reformer is overstated. And it adds that game across Europe is about to change!. This new study argues that, particularly in late 1990s, there has been more reform in rest of Europe than is appreciated in UK. And that Europe as a whole is on cusp of much greater changes!. Certainly in France and possibly in Germany, study judges, traditional power balance between government, employers, unions and welfare providers has shifted such that government may be able to impose much more drastic measures...In UK, by contrast, impact of EU institutions may in some areas mean a degree of levelling up - as in healthcare. The most intriguing question is how far reformed welfare states will retain social cohesion they are designed to produce.So far, even in UK, they have proved remarkably resilient - adapting to changing needs rather than being rolled back. This study's verdict on issue is don't know. But so much change is on way, it says, that the past is unlikely to be a good guide to future' - Nicholas Timmins, The Financial Times Welfare States under Pressure provides a timely and comprehensive review of welfare policy-making in Europe. The text compares different ways in which welfare states have responded to similar pressures over recent years, and considers how welfare is likely to develop in future. This work: * provides up to date accounts of welfare development in Finland, Sweden, France, Germany, Switzerland, Spain and United Kingdom. * explores how similar pressures can lead to different responses due to different policy-making mechanisms in each of seven different countries * contains chapters written by leading national experts * written accessibly, and tightly edited, with each chapter following same conceptual structure. This volume takes a fresh approach in its analysis of future of welfare state in Europe.It suggests that opportunities for radical change in welfare systems are now opening up, and that there will be little continuity between future and past/present of welfare system in Europe. Welfare States under Pressure is invaluable to undergraduate students in social policy, European studies and politics, and will also be of great use to other social science students interested in Europe and its future development.

Full frame distilled prediction

Teacher imitation

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
