We are delighted to announce that the special issue Gendering the Mixed Economies of Welfare: Ruptures and Trajectories in Postwar Europe edited by Efi Avdela, Lindsey Earner-Byrne, Dimitra Lampropoulou has just been published in Historein. As the editors highlight

the essays in this special issue provide insights into how the mixed economies of welfare were altered and inscribed in key moments of rupture during the long postwar period. Central to these explorations are the role of gender and the influence of social action and actors in the field of welfare and social protection. It is our hope that this volume will prompt a reinvigoration of the concept of the mixed economy of welfare as a central prism through which to understand the history of welfare development.

The special issue brings together contributions by Sonja Matter, María Ángela Cenarro Lagunas, Efi Avdela & Dimitra Lampropoulou, Nicole Kramer, Lindsey Earner-Byrne and Despo Kritsotaki
