Reassessing Welfare State Generosity
This paper addresses the long-standing issue of welfare state generosity measurement, by adopting a new perspective that focus on how welfare states are responding to new social risks linked to emergent forms of vulnerability. Namely, an emphasis is put on labour market polarization as well as childcare needs in the context of family model changes. Our work therefore constitutes a re-examination of Esping-Andersen’s The Worlds of Welfare State hy…
Political hate speech of the far right on Twitter in Latin America
The purpose of this research was to study the spreading of political hate speech by the far right through Twitter. A mixed methodology was employed, combining both quantitative and qualitative tools, within the framework of digital ethnography. Five characteristic cases of campaigns linked to political hate speech were chosen, meeting the four criteria set: Latin American scope with representativeness in terms of breadth and impact, political mot…

The Long-Term Vulnerabilities of Spanish Capitalism in Light of the Covid-19 Pandemic
This article explores the evolution of Spain’s capitalism during the last decades in order to unveil the factors underlying the harshness with which the COVID-19 pandemic has impacted Spain. We present a twofold thesis. On the one hand, we argue that Spanish capitalism has harbored certain internal vulnerabilities, relative to its productive specialization, its labor market, its welfare institutions, and indebtedness levels, which successive boom…

Gone with the Crisis? Welfare State Change in Europe Before and Since the 2008 Crisis
A perfect storm in a sunny economy
Although Spain's economy was seen as a miracle during the most recent expansive phase (for its labour market outcomes in terms of job growth, among other things), the economy's development during those years suffered from severe problems that deserve attention. This became more relevant in a context like the current one, where there is no consensus around which economic policies might lead the country back onto a stable growth path. Using a syste…
The Spanish Economic ‘Miracle’ That Never Was
The Political Economy of Contemporary Spain
Introduction Following analysis of the fundamentals of the Spanish economy’s growth model and external insertion, this chapter examines the financial dynamics on which both have been sustained. This dynamic began with a process of overindebtedness in which expansion of the economy was rooted; this process created a high degree of financial vulnerability, caused by the outbreak of a private debt crisis that dragged the economy as a whole into rece…
Economic growth and welfare state
In this article we analyse the relation between the dynamics of economic growth and the welfare state using the Swedish experience as a case study. We defend three theses concerning the Swedish experience: that the deep economic crisis of 1990–93 constituted the definite breaking point for the accumulation pattern in force since the 1950s (and in crisis since the mid-1970s); that the new accumulation pattern eroded the long-standing symbiotic rel…
Methodologies to assess the development impact of loan aid
In this paper we analyse the methodologies used by the main European Development Finance Institutions (EDFIs) to assess the development impact of their operations. To do so, we identify the selection criteria of the projects funded by EDFIs using both a literature review −including their own web pages− and on-site interviews. After a short introduction, we start examining the theoretical foundations of the EDFIs’ activities, explaining in the nex…
