Description
This accessible textbook offers a comparative analysis of social policy in the new Eastern Europe, including the former Soviet Union. It assesses past developments, the problems of the present transitional period and prospects for the future.The revolutions against communist regimes all over the region have been acclaimed as heralding a new era of market economy and political democracy. However, this radical and rapid transition entails social costs that raise pressing questions for social policy in the new nations and republics. What is happening to the state-organized system of social guarantees, free hospitals, child-care benefits for working women and other welfare services? Who now provides for the unemployed and the poor?Bringing together leading specialists on the social policy of the former Soviet Union, Hungary and Czechoslovakia, Bulgaria and Poland, this book systematically outlines the shortcomings of the old bureaucratic collectivist system of welfare, as well as explaining why the emerging system is, initially at least, often inadequate. Focusing on this unique period of transition, The New Eastern Europe vividly demonstrates the difficulty of balancing social justice and economic efficiency in social policy. The book will be essential reading for students of comparative social policy, Soviet and East European studies, and East European social policy, politics and administration.
