From Welfare State to Social Compacts
Recent social, political, and economic development have strained the credibility of conventional constructs for organizing social welfare. In contrast to the "welfare state" construct that evolved during the industrial era, a "Social Compact" model is presented as more consonant with a postindustrial context. Features of the social compact are discussed, as well as its applicability to Poland

Aging, Development and Social Welfare Strategies
(Social welfare strategies are closely linked to theoretical paradigms which surround the social problems they seek to address. Prevailing theories of social gerontology primarily address aging at micro and mezzo levels of analysis.
