7 veje mod fremtidens nordiske velfærd. Globaliseringsinitiativet for sundhed og velfærd er et sammenhængende program, der gennem en treårig periode fra 2010 til 2012 har været en vigtig driver i det nordiske samarbejde. Programmet fokuserer på den nordiske velfærdsmodels bæredygtighed og konkurrencekraft med udgangspunkt i centrale velfærdsudfordringer. Konkret består globaliseringsinitiativet af syv selvstændige projekter kategoriseret under de to hovedtemaer sundhed og velfærd. Projekterne har udviklet ny viden, konkrete anbefalinger og nye løsninger. Disse resultater præsenteres her i lettilgængelig form. Publikationen består af en samlende artikel, syv projektportrætter og en perspektivartikel. Globaliseringsinitiativets løsninger og aktiviteter peger fremad for et styrket nordisk samarbejde, hvor de forskellige lande og sektorer udveksler viden og erfaringer. Dette arbejde vil Nordisk Ministerråd fokusere på i de kommende år og vil derfor trække på viden, løsninger og erfaringer fra globaliseringsinitiativets arbejde.

"Belonging, Solidarity and Expansion in Social Policy examines processes of social policy formation and shifting solidarities from the perspective of the actors most affected. Using the examples of nineteenth century mutual benefit societies in the UK and Germany, and EU level social policy, it shows empirically how actors are able to shift their solidarities towards strangers and reveals the argumentative patters concerning such a transformation. The book's innovative research programme provides theoretical and empirical insights on the question regarding the relationship of belonging and social policy. It offers a new theory on the formation of redistributive preferences based on an approach combining theories of solidarity and structural incentives. The analysis shows how these preferences are shaped by available institutional alternatives, cost-benefit-calculations and identity-oriented interests, and thus offers new empirical evidence on how individuals are able to reintegrate wider identities and align their solidarities also at the European level"--

"This book sets out unique findings on whether social capital influences health and health inequalities in European welfare states. Drawing on cross-national data from the European Social Survey (ESS) as well as Swedish national survey data and registers, the book develops a new theoretical definition of social capital that guides the books empirical studies. The findings suggest that welfare state generosity is a decisive factor for social capital and that social capital is of significance for health inequalities both between and within European welfare states. The book also discusses the potential dark sides of social capital and examines evidence of circumstances in which social capital has negative health externalities."--Publisher's website.
