"Drawing on survey data, this remarkably coherent volume is a must
read for anyone interested in the politics of the welfare state in
advanced capitalist countries. How do welfare systems and other
national-level institutions affect the salience of social class for
individual attitudes? In addressing this question, the contributors
also explore how the process of welfare-state retrenchment over the
last twenty years has affected the salience of social class.
Methodologically, the volume provides state-of-the-art examples of
how to model the interaction of individual-level and system-level
effects. The volume offers up many fascinating insights about the
determinants of individual attitudes towards inequality and the
public provision of social welfare."
--Jonas Pontusson, Princeton University
"The Political Sociology of the Welfare State assembles innovative
analyses about mechanisms linking political institutions, social
cleavages, and citizen orientations. The general approach is new
and original: it highlights feedback effects of institutions and
public policies in comparative perspective. The rigorous and
systematic attempt to combine micro- and macro- data makes this
book a 'must-read' for all those interested in the future
development of political sociology." --Hans-Dieter Klingemann,
Professor of Political Science, Social Science Research Center,
Berlin, Germany
