Abstract
The welfare regime approach to social policy is shown to be past its use-by date, not least for imposing an ever-expanding set of ideal types that do not fit unyieldingly variegated outcomes across sectors and countries. Moreover, like many other approaches, it tends to derive its analytical framing from the Keynesian period as opposed to forging an understanding of neoliberalism and the increasing role of financialization as a direct and indirect influence upon social policy. Alternatives should be posed in terms of addressing both the transformational/developmental role of social policy and its sector-specific systems of provision.
