In public debate and academic writings, the American and European
welfare states are often portrayed as inhabiting completely
different welfare regimes. However, a closer look at the historical
development of the European welfare state finds that American
philanthropic bodies, such as the Rockefeller Foundation, had a
significant influence on the development in key areas of the
European welfare states, including health care, social work,
education, and the disciplines of social science. The contributions
in this book explore the influence of American foundations from the
interwar period to the 1950s in Denmark, Norway, Hungary, Austria,
Germany, France, Spain, and Sweden. The book offers new insights
into the transnational history of European welfare states, as well
as the complicated process often labeled as Americanization.
