Norwegian Welfare Reforms
Currently the language of activation and welfare contracts pervades social policy discourses and reforms in Norway, as well in the rest of the Western world. Contracts are used as a new governance tool of activation programmes as well as a moral reminder of the connection between the citizens' rights and duties. Taken together, activation and contracts are considered to be efficient means to reach vital social policy goals, especially the priorit…

New Contractualism in Social Policy and the Norwegian Fight against Poverty and Social Exclusion
This article explores some aspects of what has been termed ‘new contractualism’ in social policy, using the Norwegian policy on poverty and social exclusion as an empirical example. An important purpose is to identify how the move to new contractualism implies new modes of controlling behaviour and to explore the ethical legitimacy of this approach. Firstly, contractualism is seen in relation to some dominating discourses in Norwegian and Europea…
Old Age Pensions, Poverty and Dignity
AB STRACT The article refers to studies indicating that universal old age pension programmes alone or in combination with earnings-related schemes are conducive to poverty alleviation and less income inequality. Universalism matters, but few countries in the world have introduced universal old age pension programmes. The article does not research this apparent paradox, but asks the empirical question of whether poverty was a prime concern and ref…
Normative Foundations of the Welfare State
Normative Foundations of the Welfare State
Justification of workfare
During the 1990s the principle of workfarehas dominated welfare reforms in Europe; claimants are increasingly obliged to work in return for their benefits, otherwise they are denied the right to income support. In Norway this strategy is called the ‘work line’, and this article gives a critical account of five arguments used by the Norwegian government to justify it. The discussion focuses on the normative content and empirical assumptions involv…
The Social Basis of Self-Respect
Unemployment in Europe is currently a major challenge. Two models for solving the problem are frequently proposed: a work model, which in its radical version institutes a legally binding right to employment, and a basic income model, which in its radical form establishes a universal, unconditional right to income security. In practice, western democracies have experimented with mixed forms of both models, with a greater emphasis on guaranteeing w…
