</P><p>The 1980s have witnessed attempts in various Western countries to reduce the scale of welfare spending. This collection of essays explores the origins and consequences of retrenchment in European and American welfare states. The essays address two questions: To what extent has the welfare state really unraveled? And what has happened to the underlying political support for the welfare state? In answering these questions, the contributors find that the welfare state is more deeply institutionalized than many observes anticipated and that the bases of political support have changed.
