The book presents the dual risk model of the welfare state. Previous research on the welfare state has predominantly studied the role of modernization and the associated labor market risks. As a corrective to this focus, the book discusses a distinct class of social risks, namely those related to the life cycle. The book relates the two types of risks to the political process of the welfare state, which encompass public opinion formation, party competition, and public policy-making.
