Abstract
The terms in the welfare debates - mutual obligations, welfare dependency, the third way, social exclusion, the underclass - assume a shared framework. Given different social security traditions, how transferable are the concepts? This paper gives a context for this question and describes recent developments in Australia, the United States and the United Kingdom. (Journal abstract)
