Old-Age Security in Comparative Perspective. John B. Williamson , Fred C. Pampel
Electoral and partisan influences on Australian fiscal policy from Menzies to Hawke
I examine the controversial questions of whether or not partisanship and electoral motives shape the fiscal policies of Australian governments. I also extend the partisan model of policy choice for the Australian case. Specifically, using time‐series data for the financial years 1962–63 through 1989–90,1 explore partisan and electoral influences on the overall fiscal stance and the personal income transfer payments of the Commonwealth government …
Politics, Institutions, and Welfare Spending in Industrialized Democracies, 1960-82
We examine the roles of democratic politics and political institutions in shaping social welfare spending in 18 contemporary capitalist democracies. We explore the social spending consequences of government partisanship, electoral competition and turnout, and the self-interested behaviors of politicians and bureaucrats, as well as such relatively durable facets of political institutions as neocorporatism, state centralization, and traditionalist …
Welfare expansion revisited: Policy Routines and Their Mediation by Party, Class and Crisis, 1957–1982
Post‐war welfare effort (i.e., welfare spending as a share of national income) in advanced capitalist political democracies is proposed to result from policy routines emphasized in the traditional academic literatures complemented and mediated by class‐linked factors stressed in the ‘new political economy’ literature. Both sets of factors are integrated into a single conception of state policy‐making. In this, self‐interested elite and administra…
The Political Economy of Government Domestic Expenditure in the Affluent Democracies, 1960-80
Despite the large number of studies of the determination of government expenditure in the affluent democracies, most students of the subject admit that we know relatively little about the complex dynamics of spending change. Using multiple regression analyses of changes in nonmilitary outlays over the years 1960 to 1973 and 1973 to 1980, this study attempts to remedy some of the problems in the literature by providing new tests of several old hyp…
Governmental Redistribution in Rich Capitalist Democracies
Civil Disorder, Relief Mobilization, and AFDC Caseloads: A Reexamination of the Piven and Cloward Thesis
In this paper we argue that previous attempts to test Piven and Cloward's explanation of post-World War II increases in Aid to Families with Dependent Children (AFDC) caseloads have been incomplete at best. Using short-term time-series analyses of nationallevel data for 1948 to 1977, we find mixed support for Piven and Cloward's explanation of AFDC caseload growth. Piven and Cloward's hypotheses that Community Action Agency legal aid and counseli…
