The welfare state is a trademark of the European social model. An
extensive set of social and institutional actors provides
protection against common risks, offering economic support in
periods of hardship and ensuring access to care and services.
Welfare policies define a set of social rights and address common
vulnerabilities to protect citizens from market uncertainties. But
over recent decades, European welfare states have undergone
profound restructuring and recalibration.
This book analyzes people's attitudes toward welfare policies
across Europe, and offers a novel comparison with the United
States. Occupied with normative orientations toward the
redistribution of resources and public policies aimed at
ameliorating adverse conditions, the book focuses on the interplay
between individual welfare attitudes and behavior, institutional
contexts, and structural variables. It provides essential input
into the comparative study of welfare state attitudes and offers
critical insights into the public legitimacy of welfare state
reform.
