The Right and the Welfare State studies the welfare state policies
of conservative and liberal governments. These parties have been
assumed to be nothing but the welfare-sceptical flip-side of the
Left, but the book presents a new theory arguing that the
conventional wisdom is wrong. The policy goals of the Right - and
the political means by which they pursue them - is a lot less
straightforward than simply "pro" or "con" the welfare state. The
book uses the distinction between labor market risks and
life-course risks in order to explain why the Right's voters care
much more about some social programs than about others and why,
consequently, the policies of Right governments are much more
diverse than is normally thought. The book also introduces the
concepts of "marketization via layering" and "erode and attack" to
help explain the peculiar approach to reforms adopted by Right
governments. The book analyses data on public opinion and public
policies from a large set of Western democracies and combines this
with in-depth case studies of Australia, Denmark, and the UK.
