Why are people who live in liberal welfare regimes reluctant to
support welfare policy? And conversely, why are people who live in
social democratic welfare regimes so keen to support it? These core
questions lie at the heart of this intriguing book. By examining
how different welfare regimes influence public support for welfare
policy, the book explores the institutional settings of different
regimes and how each produces its own support. While previous
studies in this field have failed to link the macro-structure of
welfare regimes and the micro-structure of welfare attitudes, this
book redresses this problem by combining welfare regime theory and
literature on deservingness criteria alongside empirical evidence
from national and cross-national data. While recent trends in
welfare state development such as cuts in benefit levels and
increased use of targeting, combined with increased immigration,
might very well influence our perceptions of the deservingness of
the needy, this book provides a strong, convincing and provoking
argument that challenges the micro-foundation of present
comparative welfare state theory. The result is an important work
for all studying and working in the fields of public policy and
social welfare.
