In both Europe and America, the landscape of social policies has
undergone fundamental changes in recent decades, especially in
endeavors to develop new welfare arrangements. How does this affect
citizenship-at-large as defined by the Marshallian triad of
personal, democratic, and social rights?
Taking nine European countries as case studies, the contributions
analyze the ways that citizenship has changed in key areas such as
social security, labor market policies, and social services. Other
chapters concentrate on the theoretical and conceptual challenges
that result from the interrelation of changing social policies with
different notions of citizenship. Trends in welfare reform have
become harder to interpret. They are no longer about simple
reductions in social services and entitlements, or a decline in
social citizenship; the terms of debate have shifted. In a
postindustrial world, individuals are afforded more mobility,
autonomy, and responsibility. Security is being reexamined in light
of the new risks stemming from a worldwide knowledge-based economy.
Behind the diversity of changes there is a unified agenda taking
shape, characterized with concepts like activation, social
investments, concerns with inclusion, and the strengthening of
links between rights and responsibilities. The contributions in
this volume represent an insightful look at the debate between the
determination to curb social spending and a new model of an
activist state ready to make social investments.
