This book examines the recent evolution of the Mediterranean
Welfare regime, and how the economic crisis may be contributing to
redefine its basic traits. Moving from the macro comparative
analysis of long-term socio-demographic trends to the study of
specific welfare programs, the chapters included in this book
employ a variety of methods and approaches to review the
specificities of the Mediterranean Welfare model. All chapters aim
to analyze the role that the recent transformations experienced by
Southern European societies (ageing, increasing women labour market
participation, decreasing expectations for care within the family,
immigration) have had over this model. The basic characteristics of
this regime type are supposed to be strongly grounded in the values
shared by these societies (familistic tendencies, clientelism, lack
of generalized trust), but the modernization which these countries
experienced in recent years have contributed, with a different
speed and to a different degree, to a significant transformation in
their axiological foundations. The impact of the current fiscal and
economic crisis on the Mediterranean Welfare regimes may be
contributing to the growing de-legitimatisation of political
systems of these countries, something particularly important in a
region that established democratic regimes only (relatively)
recently. This book was originally published as a special issue of
European Societies.
