Abstract
The contribution this chapter makes to the theme of this book is that the future of welfare states in Europe cannot be understood without looking beyond the West European borders of Europe. Developments in social policy in Eastern Europe and the former Soviet Union (see Chapter 7) will clearly have an impact. More important, however, is the role of global agencies such as the World Bank, International Monetary Fund (IMF), International Labour Organization (ILO) and others in influencing both national welfare systems and the social regulation of economic competition between welfare states.
