Welfare state theories and applications
Katharina Bluhm
Kommentar
The existence of large welfare states due to industrialization and class struggle is an outstanding feature of Europe until today. Various regime types have emerged that created path dependency and are related to different versions of the market economy. Despite European integration, social policy remains a core task of the national states and plays a crucial role in legitimizing democracy. The seminar explores the drivers of the welfare state development variety within Europe and the major triggers of change. We will begin with the typology suggested by Esping-Andersen, its critics, adaptations, and expansions (e.g., the role of religion and gender and the debate about a South European model). Afterward, we will investigate major changes and their conceptualization, discuss their application to Central and Eastern Europe, which turned towards capitalism after 1990, and explore why welfare-state chauvinism is a specific feature of right-wing populism in Europe.
