Abstract

This book contributes to putting a new type of actor in the welfare state into focus: for-profit firms as providers of social policy. The introduction shows that studying the rise of private sector providers promises insights into the politics of welfare state change. It summarizes the contribution of this book to a controversial scholarly debate about private providers, namely, the argument of constrained business power. The chapter closes with defining the subject of study, that is, markets and private sector providers of social policy, and with providing an overview of the cases, that is, hospitals and pensions in Germany and the UK.

Nächstes Kapitel Private Sector Provider Power in Welfare State Politics
Fußnoten
1
Between 2005 and 2009, Walter Riester, while being a member of parliament, earned a minimum of 237,000 EUR from talks for insurers, banks, and other financial industry firms (Deutscher Bundestag 2009).
 
2
There is some overlap of the concepts of welfare markets and quasi-markets (Le Grand 1991). However, as to the supply side, Le Grand has put a special focus on non-profit providers, while the demand is publicly controlled and guaranteed. This definition of the supply side is not in line with the focus of this study on for-profit providers. Furthermore, Le Grand’s definition of the demand side does not cover pension markets.
 
3
Note that some welfare markets in pensions include occupational pensions, for instance, when life insurers manage pension funds for employers.
 
4
Note that the study of NHS policies is limited to England because the National Health Services in the UK largely differ with regard to management and legal rules. Throughout the study I will refer to England when discussing the NHS only, but I will use UK as a summarizing and simplifying label when discussing pensions and healthcare.
 
5
I use the term ‘private pensions’ to describe both occupational and individual pensions.
