** 'Democracy under attack' Malcolm Dean
A damning indictment of the media's role in distorting democracy by Malcolm
Dean, the Guardian's longstanding chief monitor of social policy.
"Malcolm Dean's fascinating book explores an under-discussed dimension of
politics -- how policy and political decisions are shaped by the popular
media. Many of his examples should cause us great concern." Baroness
Shirley Williams

** 'Towards a social investment welfare state?' Morel, Palier & Palme
This book maps out the contours of the European 'social investment'
strategy, both at the ideational level and in terms of the policies
implemented throughout Europe. It will appeal to both social policy
scholars and policy experts.
Supported by the Nordic Center of Excellence NordWel and the EU funded
Network of Excellence RECWOWE (Reconciling Work and Welfare).
"The first book that gives us a balanced and sophisticated analysis of what
social investment policies entail and how they have been implemented across
the advanced world. It will become the authoritative reference on welfare
state reform for years to come... a must-read for any serious social policy
course." Gøsta Esping-Andersen, Professor of Sociology, Universitat Pompeu
Fabra

** 'Changing social equality' Kvist, Fritzell et al.
Taking a comparative perspective, this book casts new light on the changing
inequalities in Europe.

much-vaunted welfare model has coped with recent external and internal
pressures is a fascinating read for anyone interested in equality or
wellbeing." Brian Nolan, Professor of Public Policy, University College
Dublin, Ireland
