Double Standard Social Policy in Europe And the United States

Double Standard presents a historical and comparative examination of comprehensive Western European versus minimalist American welfare states. In this book, Russell analyzes how and why social policy and welfare states evolved differently in the two areas. He explores a series of common social problems-from poverty to family support to ethnic and racial conflict-to show how they are handled differently with different consequences. He argues that the European and American social models are in contention for the future of western societies.Russell, James W. is the author of 'Double Standard Social Policy in Europe And the United States', published 2006 under ISBN 9780742546929 and ISBN 0742546926.
