Books by Isabela (Stanford University Mares

In an effort to explain cross-national and temporal changes in employment outcomes, this book examines a political exchange between unions and governments, during which unions voluntarily agreed to pursue moderate wage settlements, while governments responded with an expansion of social policy transfers.

The book provides a systematic evaluation of the role played by business in the development of the modern welfare state. This book studies the critical questions and its analysis demonstrates that major social policies were adopted by cross-class alliances comprising labor-based organizations and key sectors of the business community.
