Abstract

Life Cycle Risks and the Politics of the Welfare State' presents the dual risk model of the welfare state. Previous research in the field has predominantly studied the role of modernization and the associated labor market risks; this book gives equal weight to a different class of social risks, namely those related to the life cycle. Labor market and life cycle risks each have profound, but distinct consequences for the political process of the welfare state, including public opinion formation, party competition, and public policy-making. The dual risk model helps us to understand why some social programs are prioritized over others in terms of political attention and public spending - and how this prioritization leads to mounting economic inequalities in modern-day societies.

Abstract

This book examines the relationship between the middle class and the welfare state. Taking an interpretive approach which understands the middle class as a socially constructed category, it combines discourse analysis, welfare state theory, and interpretive policy analysis in an innovative way to investigate how the middle class becomes a meaningful object of public debates and policymaking. Comparing Germany, Sweden, and the United Kingdom, the book reconstructs the prevalent images and meanings of the middle class from each country's public debates and tracks how the middle classes with their various meanings and characteristics are entangled with the identification of societal problems, the articulation of political demands, and the construction of welfare policies. Ultimately, it shows how the formation and consolidation of different welfare regimes can be interpreted as specific ways of solving the puzzle of how to incorporate the middle class in the construction of a welfare state consensus. This book will be of key interest to scholars and students of comparative welfare state research, policy analysis, political sociology, political theory, and European and comparative politics.

Abstract

Decades into its existence as a foundational aspect of modern political and economic life, the welfare state has become a political cudgel, used to assign blame for ballooning national debt and tout the need for personal responsibility. At the same time, it affects nearly every citizen and permeates daily life - in the form of pension, disability, and unemployment benefits, healthcare and parental leave policies, and more. At the core of that disjunction is the question of how we as a society decide who should get what benefits - and how much we are willing to pay to do so. This book traces a history of social insurance from the 18th century to today, from the earliest ideas of social accountability through the advanced welfare state of collective responsibility and risk.

Abstract

Weitreichende Reformen der Arbeitsmarkt- und Rentenpolitik wurden in Deutschland bereits ab Mitte der 1990er Jahre umgesetzt, in Frankreich hingegen erst ab Ende der 2000er Jahre. Dabei wird deutlich, dass die französischen Arbeitsmarkt- und Rentenreformen der letzten Jahre wichtige Parallelen zu Deutschland aufweisen. Florian Steinmüller zeigt auf, dass die unterschiedliche Entwicklung beider Wohlfahrtsstaaten und die Annäherung Frankreichs an das deutsche Reformmodell auf die landesspezifischen Beziehungsmuster zwischen Exekutive, Parteien, Gewerkschaften und Arbeitgeberverbänden und auf deren Veränderungsdynamik zurückzuführen sind. Der Inhalt Vorstellung der Akteure, des Analyserahmens und des Analysemodells Grundlagen der Arbeitsmarkt- und Rentenpolitik in Deutschland und Frankreich Entwicklung der Arbeitsmarkt- und Rentenpolitik im deutsch-französischen Vergleich Wandel des Wohlfahrtsstaates und Veränderung der Akteurskonstellationen im deutsch-französischen Vergleich Die Zielgruppen Dozenten und Forschende der vergleichenden Wohlfahrtsstaatsforschung, Frankreichforschung, Verbändeforschung, Policy-Analyse Expertinnen und Experten der Arbeitslosen- und Rentenversicherungen Der Autor Florian Steinmüller ist wissenschaftlicher Referent beim Deutschen Verein für öffentliche und private Fürsorge e.V. .
