Contracting-Out Welfare Services: Comparing National Policy Designs for Unemployment Assistance is an edited collection focused on the design and redesign of welfare-to-work systems around the world. The welfare state has undergone a radical change over the past 30 years. Now here have the changes been more fundamental, and the results more pronounced, than in relation to welfare-to-work, employment services privatization and jobseeker activation.

This book represents a new standard in the field of employment services scholarship; authors from around the world, all experts in the field, draw on a much longer intellectual legacy; in particular New Public Management, social policy, public policy, activation, the welfare state, the third sector, 'flexsecurity', mission drift and quasi-markets. "This book confirms employment services delivery as a discrete field of research and uses employment services as a case study to advance understanding in relation to a host of broader principles and concepts.

Each of the chapters included in this book utilizes a national/program case study, and each considers employment services policy in general and activation practices in particular: essays stand as unique and standalone contributions to the literature, and combined, they present a significant contribution to scholarship, and practice, in this important field.
