The first book to examine the variety of relationships between the statutory and voluntary sectors in Europe and America. An impressive list of contributors to cover many geographical areas. Given George W. Bush's cutbacks to Welfare in the USA, the issue of provision and its history is very topical. This collection examines the relationships between the statutory and voluntary sectors in a variety of national settings, including Britain, the United States, the Netherlands, Sweden, Norway, Canada and Germany during the last two hundred and fifty years.

An impressive list of contributors come together to investigate the issue of provision and its history in various geographical areas, and to create a book as topical as it is significant.
