Review :
'...Jewell's book is a good read. It is informative, well researched, interesting and maybe its main strength, an example of a truly comparative effort. In the field of welfare law and policy, I hope more will follow Jewell's example.' - Sara Stendahl, European Journal of Social Security, Volume 9 (2007) No. 4
