Navigating Social Security Options “This book contains nothing less than a full panoramic view of the entire world of social security. The options presented therein, though condensed and easily readable, offer an abundance of information covering the entire range of today’s challenges for the organisation of social security. Clearly structured and formulated, they help to open up horizons of choices instead of cementing ideological positions—which is a most welcomed approach for advancing social policy today.” —Ulrich Becker, Professor and Director, Max Planck Institute for Social Law and Social Policy, Germany “A most useful, original and enlightening book in which Pieters, one of the most prominent experts in this field, tackles the main challenges faced by Social Security systems, offering all the key aspects that policy choices should carefully take into account.” —Borja Suárez, Director General for Social Security, Spanish Ministry of Labour, Migrations and Social Security, and Professor, Universidad Autónoma Madrid, Spain “Pieters highlights principles of social security by putting them into a model of political choices, and exploring what the outcomes of these might be. A fascinating picture of the potential tools in social policy.” —Franz Marhold, Professor of Labour and Social Law, Vienna University for Business and Economics, Austria, and President of the European Institute for Social Security, Belgium “This book is the perfect sequel to Danny Pieters’ Social Security: An Introduction to the Basic Principles, building on the policy dimension of our social security systems in a lucid, elegant and comprehensive manner.” —Gijsbert Vonk, Professor of Social Security Law, Groningen University, the Netherlands “This book steers the reader away from the common, one dimensional, cost reduction driven analysis of social security, into an understanding of the assumptions behind existing social security systems. It is only by understanding these

assumptions and their implications that policy makers will select the bold choices needed to create a social security system for the 21st century.” —Chris Gibbon, Independent Consultant and former Vice President and Worldwide Leader of the Global Social Security Business, IBM “A very useful enrichment of the social security discourse, this book offers a great checklist from a social law perspective and is of interest to all social scientists.” —Robert Holzmann, Fellow of the Austrian Academy of Sciences, and Honorary Professor, University of New South Wales, Australia
