Abstract
Entry to the European Community has stimulated a growing international interest in social policy in Spain from what, hitherto, had been a sparse literature. Membership has incorporated Spanish academics and researchers into the panoply of EU-funded comparative projects producing innovative analyses into areas of investigation that, in the Spain of the mid–1980s, were practically virgin territory. Despite these achievements, and while one acknowledges the excellent sectoral analyses by authors such as Cousins (1999) or more general works by Heywood (1995), this is the first book to appear in English which attempts a comprehensive analysis of the Spanish welfare system and the impact that the return of democracy had in reshaping it.
