Welfare States in East Central Europe, 1919-2004

"This is the first comparative-historical study of welfare states (social policies) in the former communist region of East Central Europe. Tomasz Inglot analyzes almost one hundred years of expansion of social insurance programs across different political regimes. He places these programs in a larger political and socioeconomic context, which includes the most recent developments since the advent of democracy. Based on this research, he argues that despite apparent similarities, the welfare states of East Central Europe, Czechoslovakia (Czech Republic and Slovakia since 1993), Poland, and Hungary have pursued distinct historical paths of development and change."--BOOK JACKET.
