This volume analyzes the merits and limitations of both welfarist and neoliberal approaches to the provision of key social services in terms of the outcomes and sustainability of the two approaches. It proposes an alternative model of social provision, characterized by multiplicity in service delivery and financing. The strengths of this new approach are illustrated with case studies from Chile, China, Tanzania and Zimbabwe.
