"Dilemmas of the Welfare Mix" is an academic book that addresses the changes in welfare policy in Europe during the 1990s. At a time when the welfare state is under pressure and the demand for care services is increasing, the role of private and nonprofit organizations becomes increasingly important. The book examines how a welfare mix emerges, in which state, private, and nonprofit organizations collaborate to meet the needs of clients. The authors, Ugo Ascoli and Costanzo Ranci, analyze developments in six European countries – France, Germany, Italy, Norway, Spain, and the United Kingdom – and shed light on the impact of this new order on social and institutional structures. This work is a significant contribution to the discussion about the future of welfare systems and the role of the nonprofit sector in policy-making.
