This book introduces readers to the world of ideal types within the readings of Max Weber by giving a theoretical understanding of ideal types, as well as applying the development of ideal types to an array of social policy arenas.
The 21st century has seen the development of welfare regime analysis marked by two differing strands: real-typical welfare regime analyses and ideal-typical welfare regime analysis; the latter focusing on the formation, development, and application of ideal types in general comparative social policy. Designed to provide new theoretical and practical frameworks, as well as updated in-depth developments of ideal-typical welfare regime theory, this book shows how Weber's method of setting up and checking against 'ideal types' can be used in a wide variety of policy areas, such as welfare state system comparison, comparative social and economic development, health policy, mental health policy, health care system analysis, gender policy, employment policy, education policy, and so forth.
The book will be of interest to all scholars and students working in the fields of social policy, including health policy, public policy, political economy, sociology, social work, gender studies, social anthropology, and many more.

"Congratulations to Christian Aspalter and his colleagues for producing an interesting and incisive overview of welfare typologies and their role in international social policy. Also known as ideal types or welfare regimes, they facilitate the analysis of social policies around the world. The editor and contributors assess their contribution by tracing their historical evolution, explaining their empirical and theoretical dimensions, reviewing their normative relevance and discussing their role in specialized fields like employment policy, health and long-term care. The book makes a sophisticated contribution to the literature and should be widely consulted by anyone interested in international and comparative welfare today."

"Ideal-types have been one of the basic tools of comparative social policy for many years. We use ideal-types because they allow us to reduce the complexity of the social world we want to study. But is this reduction of complexity always justified, when and when not? Are ideal-types sometimes mistaken with reality, and what are they, and how are they being used? This book provides some highly sophisticated and much needed thinking on how we use ideal-types to make sense of welfare state differences. An essential reading for everyone involved in comparative social policy research." Giuliano Bonoli, Professor of Social Policy, University of Lausanne, Switzerland.
