This book examines the relationship between the middle class and
the welfare state. Taking an interpretive approach which
understands the middle class as a socially constructed category, it
combines discourse analysis, welfare state theory, and interpretive
policy analysis in an innovative way to investigate how the middle
class becomes a meaningful object of public debates and
policymaking. Comparing Germany, Sweden, and the United Kingdom,
the book reconstructs the prevalent images and meanings of the
middle class from each country's public debates and tracks how the
middle classes with their various meanings and characteristics are
entangled with the identification of societal problems, the
articulation of political demands, and the construction of welfare
policies. Ultimately, it shows how the formation and consolidation
of different welfare regimes can be interpreted as specific ways of
solving the puzzle of how to incorporate the middle class in the
construction of a welfare state consensus. This book will be of key
interest to scholars and students of comparative welfare state
research, policy analysis, political sociology, political theory,
and European and comparative politics.
