Greer, Ian
The marketization of employment services : the dilemmas of Europe's work-first welfare states Ian Greer, Karen N. Breidahl, Matthias Knuth, and Flemming Larsen. - Oxford : Oxford University Press, c2017. - 198 p. : ill. ; 24 cm.
What is marketization, and what are its effects? This book uses employment services in Denmark, Germany, and Great Britain as a window to explore the rise of market mechanisms. Based on more than 100 interviews with funders, managers, front-line workers, and others, the authors discuss the internal workings of these markets and the organizations that provide the services. This book gives readers new tools to analyse market competition and its effects. It provides a new conceptualization of the markets themselves, the dilemmas and tradeoffs that they generate, and the differing services and workplaces that result. It is aimed at students and researchers in the applied fields of social policy, public administration, and employment relations and has important implications for comparative political economy and welfare states.
