Political parties and non-standard employment
Recent research has shown that new labour market divides resulting from the rise of non-standard employment (NSE) are reflected in the political preferences of the workers affected. Yet, our knowledge of the stance of political parties on the issue is extremely limited, even descriptively. Do they address NSE in the context of election campaigns-if so, which parties do? How do they frame non-standard work and what policies do they propose? The ar…
All of one kind? Labour market reforms under austerity in Italy and Spain
Most scholars have highlighted the commonalities of labour market reforms under austerity in Europe, mostly in terms of liberalization. We argue that a more differentiated analysis is in order, as empirical developments point to distinct reform trajectories. We analyse in detail the two South-European cases where pressure for austerity was intense but governments maintained a degree of discretion as they were not subjected to direct bailout condi…
Globalization and healthcare policy
Research on globalization and social policy has indicated that differentiating between policy fields is a promising way to disentangle the complex relationship between global economic integration and welfare states. Moreover, while there is a specific literature on healthcare spending, it has so far neglected globalization as a potential influence. Consequently, this article examines the impact of globalization on healthcare expenditure. We probe…
European Welfare States and Migrant Poverty
In almost all European welfare states, immigrants face a higher risk of poverty than natives, but the gap between the two groups varies. In examining this variation, our article contributes to the nascent literature on the impact of welfare states on immigrants. We hypothesize that whether immigrants benefit from welfare generosity depends on three intervening factors: immigration policy, labor market regulation, and welfare eligibility rules. We…
Party Systems and Social Policy
The article shows how the development of social policy in Italy and Germany was influenced by their respective party systems. Its focus is on the differences between systems of unemployment protection in the two countries after World War II. Due to many similarities between the two states, in particular the dominant presence of Christian democratic parties in both national governments at the time, this divergence cannot be adequately explained by…
The party preferences of atypical workers in Germany
Are party preferences of atypical workers distinct from those in stable employment? The welfare state literature debates this question, but very few empirical studies have been conducted. We examine the German case, being an example of a welfare state with strong social insurance traditions where the rise of atypical employment has been conspicuous. In particular, we test the argument that preferences of labour market outsiders may not differ bec…
Die sozialpolitischen Präferenzen der Mittelschicht
Der Artikel untersucht die Einstellungen in der Mittelschicht zu sozialer Absicherung. Insbesondere analysieren wir, wie die unterschiedlichen Einstellungen innerhalb der Mittelschicht polit-ökonomisch erklärt werden können. Unsere Ergebnisse zeigen, dass, neben der traditionellen sozialstaatskritischen Einstellung der Selbständigen, insbesondere Bildung und berufstypische Arbeitslogiken (technisch, organisatorisch oder personenbezogen) für unter…
Party Competition and Reforms of Unemployment Benefits in Germany
This article shows how party competition has influenced reforms of unemployment benefits in Germany. The existing literature on German labour market policy emphasises institutional factors and predicts policy stability. Consequently, the recent fundamental reforms (‘Hartz reforms’) pose a challenge to previous research. By looking at the spatial configuration of the party system and at policy demand, this article argues that the incremental retre…
