Catching up to reality : Building the case for a new
social model
The Familly Network of the Canadian Policy Research Networks (CPRN)
has just released the first of its new Social Architecture Papers. Catching
up to reality: Building the case for a new social model ,
by Jane Jenson, Director of the CPRN's Family Network, traces the
socio-economic patterns and underlying understanding and prescription
(what she calls «social
knowledge ») that shaped policy choices from the 1940s
through the 1960s. She describes how new social realities challenge
that social knowledge, and she identifies new knowledge that demands
a policy response more appropriate to current conditions.

In addition to Jenson's introductory paper, CPRN is releasing the
following historical and comparative papers on the same theme:
- The Canadian social model: The logics of policy development,
by Gerard Boychuk
- Social protection reforms in Europe : strategies for a new social
model, by Bruno Palier
- One discourse, three dialects: changing the social model in
Australia , the United Kingdom, and the United States , by Roxanne
M. Pawlick and Sharon M. Stroick

L'aide au conditionnel : la contrepartie dans les mesures
envers les personnes sans emploi en Europe et en Amérique
du Nord. DUFOUR, Pascale, Gérard BOISMENU et Alain
NOËL. Montréal : Presses de l'Université de
Montréal, 2003
Les politiques de soutien qui visent les sans-emploi sont de plus
en plus souvent assorties de conditions que l'on regroupe sous
le terme contrepartie. Parallèlement, l'aide tend à devenir
moins généreuse. Ce livre étudie la transformation
de ces politiques dans six pays : le Canada, les États-Unis,
le Royaume-Uni, la France, l'Allemagne et le Danemark. Cette étude
comparative transversale fait ressortir les relations entre les sans-emploi
et l'État, le marché du travail et l'environnement
social.

At
the Margins of the welfare state : Social asistance and the allevation
of poverty in Germany, Sweden and the United Kingdom .
BEHRENDT, Christina. Ashgate Ed, 2002. Coll. Studies in Cash and Care
(ISBN : 0 7546 1996 6).
Addressing one of the major puzzles in comparative welfare state
research, this unique volume adopts a fresh perspective to examine
why there is income poverty in highly developed welfare states.
Focusing on the basic safety net of the welfare state, it offers
a systematic and innovative analysis of the effectiveness of minimum
income schemes in a comparative study across three highly developed
welfare states: Germany, Sweden and the United Kingdom. Blending
insights from a combination of institutional information and quantitative
data from income surveys, the author evaluates the causal mechanisms
for the persistence of income poverty in highly developed welfare
states and derives conclusions for political reforms.
