"Over the past three decades, market reforms have transformed public services such
as education, health and care of the elderly. Whereas previous studies present markets
as having similar and largely non-political effects, this book shows that political
parties structure markets in diverse ways to achieve distinct political aims. Left-wing
attempts to sustain the legitimacy of the welfare state are compared with right-wing
wishes to limit the state and empower the private sector. Examining a broad range

of the complexity of market reforms in the industrialized world. The use of innovative
multi-case studies and in-depth interviews with senior European policymakers enriches
the debate and brings clarity to this multifaceted topic. Scholars and students working
on the policymaking process in this central area will be interested in this new conceptualization
of market reform"-- ; "In 1980, Ronald Reagan was elected President of the United

and welfare entitlements and improving conditions for private entrepreneurship. For
Reagan, American government was akin to an alligator infested swamp, not only stagnant
but dangerous. Thousands of miles away, the Swedish Prime Minister, Olof Palme, in
response to a local government's attempt to privatize a childcare center, took a different
