Public Services or Corporate Welfare: Rethinking the Nation State in the Global

Description: Public Services or Corporate Welfare by Dexter Whitfield Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description Explains the need for public ownership and the welfare state in the face of increasing globalisation Publisher Description Examining the role of the modern nation state, Dexter Whitfield assesses the achievements, failures, costs and benefits of the neoliberal and `third way transformation of the state. He demonstrates that private finance of infrastructure, marketisation of government and privatisation of the welfare state are accelerating the globalisation process and generating ever larger financial, social and environmental crises. Whitfield analyses current trends which are exacerbated by the marketisation and partnership agenda advocated by global bodies such as the World Bank, IMF and WTO. He reveals how these policies further reduce the capacity of the state in the global economy, its ability to provide good quality public services and inevitably create a corporate welfare complex. Within a framework for understanding the extent, scale and impact of the transformation of the state, the author forecasts the implications of the continuation of current policies. Author Biography Dexter Whitfield has advised public bodies in countries around the world, including Australia, New Zealand and the US. He is currently based at the Centre for Public Services in Sheffield.
