Insecurity and Welfare Regimes in Asia, Africa and Latin America
Written by a team of internationally respected experts, this book explores the conditions under which social policy, defined as the public pursuit of secure welfare, operates in the poorer regions of the world. Social policy in advanced capitalist countries operates through state intervention to compensate for the inadequate welfare outcomes of the labour market. Such welfare regimes cannot easily be reproduced in poorer regions of the world wher…
Conceptualising in/security regimes
This chapter is one result of our dialogue between European social policy and the sociology of development. I was charged with the task of exploring how the concepts of 'welfare regime', 'social exclusion' and 'social policy' might be usefully adapted for understanding African realities in the context of a growing interest in the notion of 'global social policy' and the increasing merger of development and (military) security (Duffield 2001). My …
Informal security regimes
This chapter argues that the poorer regions of the world do not comfortably conform to the two key assumptions upon which the OECD model of welfare state regime relies: a legitimate state; and a pervasive, formal sector labour market. This immediately sets up the two key interactive issues of governance and the socio-economic circumstances of the common man (and woman). These circumstances are understood in this chapter through the metaphor of th…
The dynamics of Africa's in/security regimes
In this chapter I use the in/security model developed in chapter 3 to analyse insecurity and welfare on the continent of Africa. The in/security model has five main components: the structural relationships and dynamics involved in the generation of insecurity; mobilisation outcomes; rectification mix; in/security outcomes; and stratification outcomes. It can be used to analyse regimes in long-term equilibrium, regimes in short-term equilibrium ('…
Latin America
Esping-Andersen (1990; 1999) has developed a typology of welfare regimes for developed countries. His analysis focuses on the production of welfare, understood as the articulation of welfare programmes and institutions – including the state, markets and households – insuring households against social risks. In his later book he notes that understanding welfare regimes, and their change over time, involves '(a) a diagnosis of the changing distribu…
Welfare regimes in development contexts
The purpose of this chapter is to adapt the welfare regime paradigm in order to throw light on social policy and human development in the contemporary world, and to instigate an empirical analysis to map the pattern of regimes across the developing and transitional zones of the global system. It begins from and builds on my background in two fields of study: the political economy of social policy in the advanced capitalist world and the theorisat…
