dc.description.abstract | The protracted debate on the welfare state has failed to produce conclusive answers as to either the nature or causes of welfare state development. This article has three aims: 1) to reintegrate the debate into the intellectual tradition of political economy. This serves to put into sharper focus the principal theoretical questions involved; 2) to specify what are the salient characteristics of welfare states. The conventional ways of measuring welfare states in terms of their expenditures will no longer do; 3) to "sociologize" the study of welfare states. Most studies have assumed a world of linearity: or spending. This more or less power, article insists industrialization that we understand welfare states as clusters of regime-types, and that their development must be explained interactively. | |
