Global Capital, Political Institutions, and Policy Change in Developed Welfare States - Cambridge Studies in Comparative Politics
Swank, Duane (Marquette University, Wisconsin)
This book argues that the dramatic post-1970 rise in international capital mobility has not systematically contributed to the retrenchment of developed welfare states as many claim. Nor has globalization directly reduced the revenue-raising capacities of governments and undercut the political institutions that support the welfare state.
