Drawing together leading international experts such as Knut
Halvorsen, Robert Y. Shapiro, Stefan Svallfors and Wim van
Oorschot, this volume addresses issues of justice and legitimacy in
the context of welfare state transformation. The contributors
demonstrate that the Western welfare state is not at risk of losing
support or encountering fundamental opposition, but does face
serious challenges including growing social and ethnic diversity,
new social risks, fiscal constraints and contested notions of
justice. The volume focuses on four main aspects: attitude
formation in cross-national perspective, the just distribution of
burdens and benefits, political factors mediating the effects of
social attitudes on public policy and challenges to the welfare
state stemming from immigration and ethnic diversity. Providing a
comparative perspective on the issue, Social Justice, Legitimacy
and the Welfare State makes a significant contribution to the
literature on the public standing of the welfare state.
