At a time when welfare states in Europe are coming under increasing
pressure from both growing demand and, in some countries, severe
financial austerity measures, the attitudes of ordinary people and
European social cohesion are much debated. Using data from the
European Social Survey, these empirical analyses examine welfare
state attitudes and draw conclusions for the future. Theoretically
the book is linked to analyses of altering social risks, policy
challenges, policy changes and policy performance of the European
welfare states. The analyses in the book explore a variety of
individual and macro-level determinants of welfare policy attitudes
ranging from socio-economic factors to religiosity, but a special
emphasis is laid on solidarity, social cohesion and social capital
among European nations. This multi-disciplinary study will appeal
to academics, researchers, graduate and postgraduate students in
sociology, social policy, social administration and European
studies. Contributors: M. Ainsaar, S.N. Andersen, H. Chung, H.
