Reviews

'This excellent book increases our understanding of why people in vulnerable positions face ever more obligations when applying for social benefits. The book represents a major advancement in the study of the most ambivalent transformation in recent welfare state history.' Johannes Kananen, University of Helsinki, Finland 'An impressive collection, ranging from political philosophy to social policy, from theories of rights and justice to European case studies on workfare and pensions. This book will surely serve as an important addition to the scholarship on the most crucial trend that is redefining welfare state institutions.' Amir Paz-Fuchs, University of Sussex, UK and author of Welfare to Work: Conditional Rights in Social Policy
