An examination of the association between history of trauma and schizophrenia symptoms
From Welfare State to Welfare Society
In the 1980s the theme of the welfare state crises surfaced as an idea in good currency. The ideas associated with “crises” have contributed to reframing much of the intellectual discourse about the future development of social policy. In this “frame shift,” a new body of literature emerged. The metaphors of public and private were assimilated in the broader context of crises and emerged as a symbol for the debate about cost shifting. Proponents …
Dilemmas of Social Reform
This title is a classic work on social reform. It is an account of the origins and development of community action from its beginnings in the Ford Foundation Gray Area Programs and the President's Committee on Juvenile Delinquency, through the rise and decline of the War on Poverty and the Model Cities program. In the ruthlessly impartial examination of various poverty programs, two social scientists one British, one American--explain why program…
From Policy to Practice
Reframing Problematic Policies
This article tries to reframe problematic policies, first by exploring the different types of situations that threaten instrumental means. The two most familiar situations are examined first: the ambiguity of ends and the conflict of values. The article then extends the list and considers other less popular dynamics, which reveals that the problematic ends are not free standing but are interdependent and mutually reinforcing. The article ends wit…
Overview Of Public Policy
This article examines a story of the limits of high ambition in policy studies and policy making. It looks at the way those limits have been appreciated and how more modest ambitions have been made. The article also examines the difficulties of modest learning and reveals some of the most basic truths: policy and policy making is mostly a matter of persuasion and policy is not only about arguing, but also about bargaining. Networked governance, c…
The Oxford Handbook Of Public Policy
The Oxford handbook of public policy
This is part of a ten volume set of reference books offering authoritative and engaging critical overviews of the state of political science. This work explores the business end of politics, where theory meets practice in the pursuit of public good.
Rethinking the Welfare State
The U.S. spends non trivially on non-medical transfers for its working-age population in a wide range of programs that support low and middle-income households. How valuable are these programs for U.S. households? Are there simpler, welfare-improving ways to transfer resources that are supported by a majority? What are the macroeconomic effects of such alternatives? We answer these questions in an equilibrium, life-cycle model with single and mar…
Managing Value Conflict in Public Policy
Policy issues are often characterized by conflicting values. Conventionally, students of public policy have conceptualized government's response to value conflicts as a matter of “balancing” competing goals, or striking trade‐offs among values. In this paper we argue that this way of managing value conflicts represents only one possibility from a larger and more varied repertoire of strategies that draw from more complex models of practical reaso…
New Ideas about Old Age Security
La redistribution des revenus
Les auteurs mettent en cause les politiques de sécurité sociale telles que pratiquées dans les pays occidentaux. Ils étudient la distribution des revenus et soulignent l'irrationalité qui la caractérise. Ils démontrent que l'analyse des inégalités sociales suppose qu'on en saisisse toutes les dimensions. Ils appliquent une méthode d'analyse aux statistiques des revenus au Canada. Après avoir étudié les implications d'un système fiscal, ils montre…
Regimes on Pillars
Social welfare arrangements represent the conjunction of the twin logics of regimes and pillars. Regimes describe who receives the benefits and on what conditions; pillars describe who pays for and who provides the benefits. There are historical associations and ‘“natural” affinities’ between certain regimes and certain pillars. But there is also scope for novel combinations and recombinations. Many contemporary welfare state reforms are best con…
There is more to receiving than needing
Recent literature on intergenerational relations – although giving different explanations – suggests that the giving of money and services to children reinforces the receiving of money and services by elderly people. To explore the flow of support between the generations we present evidence about the type and intensity of the help that elderly people receive from their adult children and their families. By comparing five developed countries we ex…
Work, Family, State and Market
We use the concept of “income packaging” to explore the economic position of older people historically and comparatively. Income packaging focuses on the evolving economic role of the State in occupational pensions, earnings and assets. By contrast, the life course perspective focuses on the relations across generations. While these approaches differ in emphasis, they also overlap and are complementary. The idea of income packaging was first deve…
The dangers of "strong" causal reasoning in social policy
Enterprise and the Welfare State
Enterprise and the Welfare State argues that there is more to welfare than simply provision by the state and so the focus of this book is on the welfare society rather than the welfare state. This requires a new system of statistical accounting and a different focus for case studies.

Reframing Policy Discourse
Comparative Patterns of Retirement
This essay reviews the changes in the age structure of modern labor markets that have led to a dramatic decline in the employment of older workers. We document this trend and explore future trends, examine different explanations of the role of the welfare state, the labor market, and the life course. Each of these perspectives offers different views into the social meaning of early retirement
Public-Private Interactions
Mandating plays a role in the retirement income system of nearly every country in the world. In this essay, mandatory pensions refers to employer-provided occupational pensions in the second tier. Mandated second-tier pensions appear to substitute for a portion, or all, of the earnings-related part of social security. Both Australia and Switzerland mandate private pension coverage, and the Netherlands has a partial mandating program. While mandat…
Stagnation and renewal in social policy
These essays analyze the ideological and historical sources of the apparent reversal of the pattern of welfare state expansion in the United States, Great Britain, and Western and Eastern Europe.

Knowledge for Practice
The rhetoric of social work often seeks its legitimacy and authority on the idea that knowledge can be translated into skills. Knowledge is made in universities in the form of timeless, objective, context-free truths about people and social institutions. Such knowledge rationalizes and justifies the professional practices of social work. It is not clear, however, that the knowledge-into-skills story fully explains social work practices. Practice …
Political‐economic aspects of public employment
An examination of public employment and expenditure data for 17 OECD countries for the period 1963–1983 reveals decelerating growth in public employment after 1970, whereas expenditure growth rates have been accelerating. Two contrary tendencies in public sector employment since the early 1970s are apparent: a general decline in goods and market services, and a significant increase in communal and social services. Comparative empirical analysis, …

The Evaluation of Broad-Aim Programs
It is often assumed that the ideal study-design for evaluation of the effectiveness of a social program would be a controlled experiment. A case study is presented of an evaluation-research project which utilized such a design. The project encountered both technical difficulties and intraorganizational friction, which, it is argued, are virtually inherent in the utilization of an experimental design for the appraisal of the effects of a broad-aim…

Patterns of Welfare Use
Anyone acquainted with the thinking about welfare policy in the United States and in other countries recognizes that a persistent issue is whether a large proportion of welfare resources is consumed by a group of chronic recipients. This "chronic" group is often referred to as a welfare "class," meaning those individuals who are more or less permanently entrenched in a welfare dependency status and have no active relationship to the means of prod…

The Dialectic of Public and Private Pensions
Complex images of the differences between public and private activities are endemic in modern capitalist societies. Numerous examples can be found in the field of social policy, but this paper focuses on the historical dialectic between public and private pension arrangements. It compares the interaction over time in a number of countries of the central principles of solidarity and equivalence which have shaped the development of pension provisio…

Choice and Change in the American Welfare System
Public welfare policy during the 1960's has come to assign priority to a cash-transfer policy. A public debate has ensued about the form that new or reformed cash transfers might take. While debating, we have introduced changes in our cash-transfer system, especially in the means-tested sector, without having explicitly chosen to take the direction which these changes imply. Thus, the changes that we have already adopted warrant serious re-examin…
