Belonging, Solidarity and Expansion in Social Policy examines
processes of social policy formation and shifting solidarities from
the perspective of the actors most affected. Using the examples of
nineteenth century mutual benefit societies in the UK and Germany,
and EU level social policy, it shows empirically how actors are
able to shift their solidarities towards strangers and reveals the
argumentative patters concerning such a transformation. The book's
innovative research programme provides theoretical and empirical
insights on the question regarding the relationship of belonging
and social policy. It offers a new theory on the formation of
redistributive preferences based on an approach combining theories
of solidarity and structural incentives. The analysis shows how
these preferences are shaped by available institutional
alternatives, cost-benefit-calculations and identity-oriented
interests, and thus offers new empirical evidence on how
individuals are able to reintegrate wider identities and align
their solidarities also at the European level.
