DOWNLOAD EBOOKLiterature Review from the year 2022 in the subject Politics - Miscellaneous, grade: 1,7, Sciences Po Paris, Dijon, Nancy, Poitier, Menton, Havre, course: Seminar: Political Economy of Welfare State Transformations: Comparative Institutional Analysis, language: English, abstract: The book "Contested Welfare States: Welfare Attitudes in Europe and Beyond" by Stefan Svallfors analyses the results of a broad research program on attitudes towards welfare policies across European countries. In eight chapters, the relationship between individual-level and country-level variables and their impact on attitudes toward and evaluations of welfare policies is explored. There are six research projects included in the book. Five of them focus on the European case, while the last one points out differences in welfare state attitudes between Europe and the United States. A comparative analysis can be conducted because cross-national data on attitudes towards the welfare state have recently become available. All of the research projects in the book are based on the module Welfare Attitudes in a Changing Europe of the 2008 European Social Survey. It is assumed that the data is comparable because the questionnaire, although translated into the local language, is the same for all participating countries.
