Based on the premise that the future of the welfare state depends on having a vision for society's development and an understanding of its current workings, 10 contributions introduce political science, sociological, and economic perspectives to analyze the elements which contribute to a good society at a global and local level. They also question what is understood by citizenship, sympathy and commitment. The editor, Bent Greve, is professor and head of social sciences at Roskilde U. in Denmark. Annotation c.
