The 'Golden Age' of the welfare state in Europe was characterised
by a strengthening of social rights as citizens became increasingly
protected through the collective provision of income security and
social services. The oil crisis, inflation and high unemployment of
the 1970s largely saw the end of welfare expansion with critical
voices claiming the welfare state had created an unbalanced focus
on the social rights of individuals, above their responsibilities
as citizens. During the 1980s many western countries developed
contractual modes of thinking and regulation within welfare policy.
Contractualism has proved a significant organising principle for
public reforms in general, and for social policy reforms in
particular as it embraces both a way of justifying certain welfare
policies and of constructing specific socio-legal policy
instruments. Engaging with both the critique of the welfare state
and the subsequent policy responses, expert contributors in this
book examine contractualism as a discourse, comprising principles
and justifying ideas, and as a legal and social practice. Covering
the international debate on conditionality they discuss European
experiences with active social citizenship ideas and contractualism
providing individual case studies and comparisons from a wide range
of European countries.
