This book deals with the historical relationship between
international trade liberalisation - one of the backbones of
globalisation - and the development of social welfare. In Europe
the issue has regularly been at the centre of the political debate
for at least two centuries, and still nowadays it continues to
inspire decisions of the highest order, as in the recent case of
Brexit. Analysing a number of particularly meaningful episodes and
moments, the eight chapters of this edited volume provide an
overview of how the liberalisation/welfare nexus has been addressed
in Europe since the end of the 19th century. Describing the
oscillations from phases in which state, non-state and
transnational actors saw the two elements as widely conflicting, to
others in which more harmonious visions prevailed, the book
uncovers the political complexity of the issue and contributes to
clarifying its connections with the current economic situation,
political balances and general social conditions.
