The Oxford Handbook of the Welfare State
This is the comprehensively revised second edition of a volume that was welcomed at its first appearance as ‘the most authoritative survey and critique of the welfare state yet published’. Of its fifty-one chapters, some chapters are brand new; all have been systematically revised, and they are all right up to date. The first seven sections of the book cover the themes of ethics, history, approaches, inputs and actors, policies, policy outcomes, …
Welfare State Transformations and Inequality in OECD Countries
Editors: Melike Wulfgramm, Tonia Bieber & Stephan Leibfried This book analyzes how recent welfare state transformations across advanced democracies have shaped social and economic disparities. The authors observe a trend from a compensatory paradigm towards supply oriented social policy, and investigate how this phenomenon is linked to distributional outcomes. How (and how much) have changes in core social policy fields alleviated or strengthened…
Standpunkt: Zur Entwicklung von Forschung und Lehre zur Sozialpolitik an Universitäten in der Bundesrepublik Deutschland. Ein wissenschaftspolitischer Denkanstoß aus der Akademie
Die öffentlichen Sozialausgaben in Deutschland umfassen etwas weniger als die Hälfte der gesamtstaatlichen Ausgaben und etwas mehr als ein Viertel des Bruttoinlandsprodukts (BIP). Wie eine Bestandsaufnahme kürzlich ergeben hat (Deutsche Rentenversicherung 1/2015, S. 42 – 127), hat sich “der Sozialstaat“ bzw. “die Sozialpolitik“ 1 dennoch als Gegenstand von Forschung und Lehre in den Universitäten – in der Volkswirtschaftslehre, der Geschichtswiss…

Human Development, State Transformation, and the Politics of the Developmental State
Debates on the nature of the developmental state must supersede the concept’s origins in the analysis of East Asian Strategies of Industrialization in the 1960s and 1970s, refocusing attention from capital accumulation to the central role of human development in national developmental success. This refocusing entails rethinking the state-society relations in which contemporary developmental states are embedded. Close ties with industrial elites a…
The Oxford Handbook of Transformations of the State
This Handbook offers a comprehensive treatment of transformations of the state, from its origins in different parts of the world and different time periods to its transformations since World War II in the advanced industrial countries, the post-Communist world, and the Global South. 0Leading experts in their fields, from Europe and North America, discuss conceptualizations and theories of the state and the transformations of the state in its enga…

Switzerland: From Liberal to Conservative Welfare State — a Pattern of Late Maturation?
Welfare state change in Switzerland during the last thirty years has clearly not been as radical as in New Zealand. Nevertheless, the Swiss system of social protection has been substantially modified since the early 1970s. All major programmes have been altered, some even fundamentally, resulting in a shift from a ‘liberal’ welfare state regime to one that has the closest affinities to the conservative model. Furthermore, the Swiss welfare state …

European Social Policy: Between Fragmentation and Integration
As the European Union grows and matures, its movement toward a single market has been the primary focus of attention. However, other policy areas have been greatly affected by the process of European integration. This volume deals with the development of social policy in the EU. The authors examine the substance of particular policies, such as industrial relations, immigration, agriculture, and gender equality. They emphasize the distinctive natu…
Transformations of the Welfare State: Small States, Big Lessons
This book gives a twist to the longstanding debate on the impact of economic globalization on the welfare state. It focuses on several small, advanced OECD economies in order to assess whether (and how) the welfare state will be able to compete under conditions of an increasingly integrated world economy. Small states can be seen as an ‘early warning system’ for general trends, because of their dependence on world markets and vulnerability to com…
Multitiered Institutions and the Making of Social Policy
Ist die Armutsbevölkerung in Deutschland exkludiert?
Die Art und Weise der öffentlichen und politischen Thematisierung von Armut, die Armutsbilder und die vorrangigen Maßnahmen zur Bekämpfung von Armut in Deutschland haben sich seit den 1950er Jahren stark gewandelt. Schon in den 1980er und 1990er Jahren häuften sich die Hinweise, dass Armut in Deutschland keineswegs nur ein Randproblem ist und nicht zuletzt im Gefolge der Massenarbeitslosigkeit an Bedeutung zugenommen hatte. Auf der politischen Ag…
Welfare States: Construction, Deconstruction, Reconstruction
In this three-volume collection Leibfried and Mau have gathered together the most vital articles about the welfare state and its ‘reformation’ written since the mid-1970s. Their choices and organizing principles bring coherence and additional insight to these articles which, together, provide a comprehensive presentation of all the key empirical, conceptual and normative issues.

The State and its Welfare State: How do Welfare State Changes Affect the Make‐up of the Nation State
With respect to changes in the welfare states of OECD countries, scholars most of the time are looking for common trends; that is, they look for similar movements in different states, such as welfare state retrenchment, recalibration, etc. As we show in this article, data on welfare state spending and financing do not, however, support such stark tendencies like retrenchment. We therefore suggest looking for corridor effects rather than level eff…

The Social Dimension of the European Union: En Route To Positively Joint Sovereignty
This article outlines possible scenarios of Social Europe. First, the status quo of (fragile) welfare state sovereignty and autonomy in the Member States is outlined. Then the major reason for the EU's difficult inheritance of a 'social dimension'is explored: namely, limping labour market integration — the only E U market that looks like a free trade zone - and its consequences for delicate European social integration. Without a common labour mar…

Public Assistance in the United States and the Federal Republic of Germany: Does Social Democracy Make a Difference
This article explores the extent to which the theory and practice of social democracy affect welfare policy through a comparison of the United States and the Federal Republic of Germany (FRG).1 Differences in German and American social and political organization are particularly useful in contrasting the distinct features of welfare politics in both countries. One would expect a more developed and extensive welfare system in West Germany where po…

Reconfiguring the national constellation
The influence of the state on the trajectory of human lives is more comprehensive and sustained than that of any other organizational construct. We provide a definition of the modern nation-state in four intersecting dimensions – resources, law, legitimacy, and welfare – and review the history and status of each dimension, focusing on the fusion of nation and state in the 19th century, and the development of the ‘national constellation’ of instit…
Welfare state transformation in small open economies
We examine whether a fundamental change in the core dimension of modern 20th century statehood, the welfare state, has become evident in response to changed exogenous and endogenous challenges. By combining quantitative and qualitative approaches we take stock of social policy development in four advanced welfare states – Austria, Denmark, New Zealand and Switzerland – over the last 30 years. Neither spending patterns nor structural changes suppo…

Buried Alternatives in German Health Policy
Over a hundred years after the Imperial Edict of November 17, 1881, that promised the working masses social insurance, it is tempting to see a linear development in this area. Such will not be the case, however, if one looks back 50 rather than 100 years and examines the efforts of a social minority which, during the Weimar period, performed a considerable number of socio-political services: the social-democratic physicians. Over 50 years ago, on…

Politik mit der Armut: Notizen zu Weimarer Perspektiven anläßlich bundesrepublikanischer Wirklichkeiten.
Das System der Sozialpolitik, verstanden als eine Pufferzone (Vobruba 1983: 65 ff.) zwischen Kapital und Lohnarbeit, hat nur insoweit eine gewisse Selbständigkeit, als sich auch in Krisenzeiten die in dieses System eingezogenen Mindestplafonds durchhalten lassen, und zwar kontrakonjunkturellwie kontrastrukturell. Auf andere Weise kann einem Sinken der Einkommenspyramide, der Pyramide von Lohn- und Sozialeinkommen also, kein Einhalt geboten werden…
Vom Ende Einer Ausgrenzung? — Armut und Soziologie
Die wissenschaftliche Beschäftigung mit Armut ist durch zyklische Schwankungen gekennzeichnet, die vom historischen Kontext bestimmt werden. Als in den 80er Jahren die „neue Armut“ infolge Langzeitarbeitslosigkeit in den alten Bundesländern öffentlich aufgegriffen und in den 90er Jahren die Verarmung weiter Bevölkerungsgruppen in der Transformation der neuen Bundesländer „entdeckt“ wurde, bestand die Antwort weniger darin, verstärkt sozialwissens…

Spins of (Dis)Integration: What Might "Reformers" in Canada Learn from the "Social Dimension" of the European Union
Viewed superficially, Canada and the European Union are both multi‐tiered systems with a social identity problem, albeit one arrived at via different routes. This paper examines the extent to which Canada and Canadians might or might not be able to profit from the experience of the EU in respect of social policy development. First, the paper offers an outline review of where the "social dimension and social policy are at" in the EU. This it does …

Politiques sociales europeennes. Entre integration et fragmentation
Towards a European welfare state?
Europe is more than just a geographical entity. And it is more than a ‘common market’. Europe has a common tradition in war, peace, culture and, above all, welfare statism-making it a distinct peninsula on the Asian continent (Schulze, 1990). The legally still separate West European nations may be about to merge into a United States of Europe (‘USE’) or at least into a steadily increasing ‘pool’ of ‘shared sovereignties’—an economic, political as…
Bildungsarmut im Sozialstaat
Die Lebens(ver)laufsforschung verdankt Martin Kohli Wesentliches: Er, der stets versuchte, „to provide a bridge between the zealots of quantitative analysis and the zealots of qualitative biographical studies“ (Mayer 2000: 264), hat auf seine qualitativ gerichtete, disziplinär breite, soziologisch institutionell gewendete Weise der deutschen Lebens(ver)laufsvariante in den varieties of capitalism (Hall/Soskice 2001) Kontur und Farbe gegeben und d…

Federalism and the Welfare State: New World and European Experiences
In this unique and provocative contribution to the literatures of political science and social policy, ten leading experts question prevailing views that federalism always inhibits the growth of social solidarity. Their comparative study of the evolution of political institutions and welfare states in the six oldest federal states - Australia, Austria, Canada, Germany, Switzerland, the US - reveals that federalism can facilitate and impede social…
Bildungsarmut: Zum Zusammenhang von Sozialpolitik und Bildung
In Deutschland gibt es zwischen (Aus-)Bildung und Sozialpolitik kaum Bezüge; bestenfalls werden Nach- und Weiterqualifizierung als den Arbeitsmarkt entlastend angesehen.1 Demgegenüber wurde in angelsächsischen Ländern unter social policy immer schon education und social security verstanden. Diese integrierte Sichtweise stand Pate für die angelsächsische Reform des Wohlfahrtsstaats gleich nach dem Zweiten Weltkrieg: Sie war zugleich massiv Bildung…
