Active welfare states have a mission: Making citizens self-sufficient via paid 
employment. In practice, this 
encompasses both enabling 
instruments such as training 
and intensive counselling, and 
demanding instruments such as job-
search monitoring and sanctions. 
This study takes an inside look 
at three active welfare states: 
The Netherlands, Denmark and 
Great Britain. Based on extensive 
interview material, the book gives a 
detailed overview of how jobcentre 
caseworkers treat unemployed 
clients, co-build jobcentre 
organizations, and discursively 
justify their activation strategies. 
By showing how the practice of 
activation is systematically shaped 
by the wider policy environment, 
this book offers valuable insights for 
both researchers and practitioners 
dealing with active labour market 
policies.
