"In public debate and academic writings the American and European welfare states are
often portrayed as inhabiting completely different welfare regimes. However, if we
take a closer look at the historical development of the European welfare state we
find that American philanthropic bodies such as the Rockefeller Foundation had a significant
influence on the development in key areas of the European welfare states such as health
care, social work, education and the disciplines of social science. The contributions
in this book explore the influence of American foundations from the interwar period
to the 1950s in Denmark, Norway, Hungary, Austria, Germany, France, Spain and Sweden.
The book offers new insights into the transnational history of European welfare states
as well as the complicated process often labeled as Americanization"--Back cover
