The redistribution of welfare resources to migrants continues to
polarise society. Not only politicians from the radical right but
also from more mainstream parties are capitalising on the idea of
‘welfare for our kind’, or welfare chauvinism. In this
innovative book, Gianna Maria Eick provides a comprehensive
analysis of welfare chauvinism in Europe, skilfully exploring how
it is shaped by education, economy and culture. Constructing an
extensive overview of welfare chauvinism’s causes and
consequences, Welfare Chauvinism in Europe sheds light on the
multidimensionality of welfare chauvinist attitudes across
countries, time, social policies, and different migrant groups.
Eick unveils hidden nuances regarding welfare chauvinism that are
frequently overlooked in current discourse, particularly concerning
socioeconomic cleavages in Europe. Using high-quality data on
public attitudes and macro-level conditions, this thought-provoking
book investigates the common misperception that higher levels of
education universally lead to more tolerant attitudes and argues
that governments and welfare institutions play a crucial role in
shaping public opinion. Providing an in-depth exploration of
welfare chauvinism, this timely book is a crucial resource for
academics, researchers and students working across social policy,
political science, sociology, social work, geography, economics and
law. Its analysis of novel cross-national survey data on welfare
chauvinism is also of significant interest to policy makers and
policy practitioners across the globe.
