About the Book

New Zealand and Sweden have both been prominent as pioneer lands in the field of social policy development, but their welfare states took significantly different forms. New Zealand came to rely on minimum wage regulation, supplemented by targeted benefits to those outside the wage system or in special need. Sweden, on the other hand, developed the European type of welfare state based on universalist policies and income transfers, at the cost of a high level of taxation. The Swedish model of welfare survived the crises of the 1970s and 1980s relatively intact, but a drastic restructing of social policy in New Zealand from 1985 onwards has led commentators to speak of the "end of the welfare state" in that country. This book explores the histories of the two welfare states, presents reasons for their emergence and divergence, and considers recent "crisis reactions" in some detail. The tension between socialism and liberalism in the respective social democratic labour parties of the two countries is seen as influencing the initial form of the two models, with class coalitions between the working classes and farmers in earler times being significant. Since the Second World War, the numerical decline of the farmers in the two countries, and the rise of the so-called "new middle classes", has led to different multi-class strategies by the two labour parties, with different implications for welfare state development and stability.
