HudsonReviewsPraise for Ageing Populations in Post-industrial Democracies: 'Ageing Populations in Post-industrial Democracies is an indispensable guide to the current state of play in ageing societies.a The essays in this volume are wide-ranging, covering pension politics, pensioners' parties, political behavior, intergenerational justice, and family policy.a The systematically comparative approach means this collection adds up to considerably more than the sum of its very smart parts.' - Julia Lynch, Associate Professor of Political Science, University of Pennsylvania 'This is a terrific collection of essays on demographic change and generational politics, using a variety of research methods.a Going beyond simple formulations of greedy older voters and myopic politicians, the carefully-researched chapters in this volume present findings that are sometimes surprising and always thought-provoking.a For scholars and policymakers seeking to understand where the study of aging polities is headed over the next decade, this volume is a great place to start.' - Kent R. Weaver, Distinguished Professor of Public Policy, Georgetown University, and Senior Fellow at the Brookings Institution, Washington D.C. 'The politics of age, and of aging societies, is finally being discovered as a field worthy of serious attention. Pieter Vanhuysse and Achim Goerres, twoa of the handful of younger scholars leading this discovery, have assembled a volume that maps out and extends the current boundaries of the field. From grey parties to pension reform, family policy and welfare attitudes, it speaks to issues that are asa theoretically productive as they are politically contentious.' - Martin Kohli, Professor of Sociology, European University Institute Florence Praise for Ageing Populations in Post-industrial Democracies: 'Ageing Populations in Post-industrial Democracies is an indispensable guide to the current state of play in ageing societies.a The essays in this volume are wide-ranging, covering pension politics, pensioners' parties, political behavior, intergenerational justice, and family policy.a The systematically comparative approach means this collection adds up to considerably more than the sum of its very smart parts.' - Julia Lynch, Associate Professor of Political Science, University of Pennsylvania 'This is a terrific collection of essays on demographic change and generational politics, using a variety of research methods.a Going beyond simple formulations of greedy older voters and myopic politicians, the carefully-researched chapters in this volume present findings that are sometimes surprising and always thought-provoking.a For scholars and policymakers seeking to understand where the study of aging polities is headed over the next decade, this volume is a great place to start.' - Kent R.
