	How Welfare States Care: Culture, Gender and Parenting in Europe Monique Kremer Amsterdam University Press, 2007 Library of Congress HD6055.2.E85K74 2007 \| Dewey Decimal 331.44094 Though women’s employment patterns in Europe have been changing drastically over several decades, the repercussions of this social revolution are just beginning to garner serious attention. Many scholars have presumed that diversity and change in women’s employment is based on the structures of welfare states and women’s responses to economic incentives and disincentives to join the workforce; How Welfare States Care provides in-depth analysis of women’s employment and childcare patterns, taxation, social security, and maternity leave provisions in order to show this logic does not hold. Combining economic, sociological, and psychological insights, Kremer demonstrates that care is embedded in welfare states and that European women are motivated by culturally and morally-shaped ideals of care that are embedded in welfare states—and less by economic reality.

	Less Pretension, More Ambition: Development Policy in Times of Globalization Peter van Lieshout, Robert Went, and Monique Kremer Amsterdam University Press, 2011 On some levels, the accepted role of development aid has been supplanted by the increase of individual remittances and foreign direct investment, as well as by policies that focus on issues such as climate, migration, financial stability, knowledge, trade, and security in order to increase opportunities in struggling countries. This study considers such changes and examines the effectiveness of aid and its role in international power relations. The editors and contributors close the book by proposing new strategies for development aid in the era of globalization. Expand Description
	Making Migration Work: The Future of Labour Migration in the European Union Edited by Jan Willem Holtslag, Monique Kremer, and Erik Schrijvers Amsterdam University Press, 2013 Largely because of the European Union’s two-phase expansion in 2004 and 2007, labor migration across the continent has changed significantly in recent years. Notably, the EU’s policy of open borders has enabled a growing stream of workers to leave new member states in search of higher wages. As a result, the nature, scale, and direction of migration flows have changed dramatically. Making Migration Work explores how policy can—and should—address these changes. In the process, this timely volume considers the future trajectory of a phenomenon that has become an increasingly sensitive political issue in many European nations. Expand Description
	Policy, People, and the New Professional: De-professionalisation and Re-professionalisation in Care and Welfare Edited by Jan Willem Duyvendak, Trudie Knijn, and Monique Kremer Amsterdam University Press, 2006 Library of Congress HV40.P64 2006 \| Dewey Decimal 350 In recent decades, social and political pressures have forced a reevaluation of the roles of health and welfare professionals throughout Europe. Policy, People, and the New Professional examines those changes and their consequences. The volume reveals how public dissatisfaction with caregivers, financial pressures from government agencies, and attempts to cope with Europe’s increasingly multicultural population have led to changes in responsibilities and oversight for a wide range of practitioners. Though more changes are certain to come as Europe’s population ages—Policy, People, and the New Professional provides an essential explanation of the road traveled so far. Expand Description
