Into the Promised Land: Issues Facing the Welfare State by Asher Ben-Arieh

Ben-Arieh and Gal draw together a collection of original essays by leading researchers on issues of major importance to all welfare states, alongside a special focus on developments in the Israeli welfare state. The essays dealing directly with issues pertaining to the Israeli welfare state represent an original attempt to present a full picture of Israeli social policy.

By focusing on the politics and the making of social policy in a variety of countries, the essays contribute to a better understanding of the development and issues facing welfare states around the world.
