    "Democracy is today a concept that is overwhelmingly positively evaluated almost everywhere. A lot has been written about socio-economic and cultural backgrounds of democratic regimes as well as their institutional settings. By contrast, not much is known about the political manoeuvres and speech acts by which 'democracy' has been tied to particular regions and cultures in concrete historical situations. This book discusses a series of efforts to rhetorically produce a particular Nordic version of democracy. It shows that the rhetorical figure 'Nordic democracy' was a product of the age of totalitarianism and the Cold War. It explores the ways in which 'Nordic democracy' was used, mainly by the social democrats, to provide the welfare politics with cultural and historical legitimacy and foundations. Thus, it also acknowledges the ideological and geopolitical context in which the 'Nordic welfare state' was conceptualised and canonised.

     

    The contributors of the book are specialists on Nordic politics and history, who share a particular interest in political rhetoric and conceptual history.

    This book approaches contemporary migration to Finland from the perspective of everyday security, presenting an alternative view to theories that examine the links between migration and security from the perspective of securitisation. By treating everyday security as a theoretical concept and as empirical lived reality, the book foregrounds migrants’ experiences of (in)security, as well as the perceptions of individuals and groups whose lives are touched by migration. Empirical studies investigate the ways in which security is produced at various levels, transnationally, and in multiple locations where encounters between long-term residents and newcomers occur, highlighting the roles of the welfare state, civic society, and the media. The book explores how everyday security is constructed between interdependent actors on personal, community and societal levels, concluding that the production of everyday security is a mutually beneficial, yet at times painstaking, process for all participants.

    The effect of generous welfare benefits on unemployment is highly contested. The dominant perspective contends that benefits provide disincentive to work, whereas others portray benefits as job-search subsidies that facilitate better job matches. Despite many studies of welfare benefits and unemployment, the literature has neglected how this relationship might vary across institutional contexts. This article investigates how unemployment benefits and minimum income benefits affect unemployment across levels of the institutional insider/outsider divide. I analyze the moderating role of the disparity in employment protection for holders of permanent and temporary contracts and of the configuration of wage bargaining. The analysis combines data from 20 European countries and the United States using the European Union Labour Force Survey and the Current Population Survey 1992–2009. I use a pseudo-panel approach, including fixed effects for sociodemographic groups within countries and interactions between benefits and institutions. The results indicate that unemployment benefits and minimum income benefits successfully subsidize job search and reduce unemployment in labor markets with a moderate institutional insider/outsider divide. However, when there is greater disparity in employment protection and when bargaining either combines low unionization with high centralization or high unionization with low centralization, generous benefits create a disincentive to work, plausibly because attractive job opportunities are scarce.

    This paper studies the impact of immigration on public policy setting. As a natural experiment, we exploit the sudden arrival of eight million forced migrants in West Germany after World War II. These migrants were on average poorer than the West German population, but unlike most international migrants they had full voting rights and were eligible for social welfare. Using panel data for West German cities and applying difference-in-differences and an instrumental variables approach, we show that local governments responded to this migration shock with selective and persistent tax raises as well as shifts in spending. In response to the inflow, farm and business owners were taxed more while residential property and wage bill taxes were left unchanged. Moreover, high-inflow cities significantly raised welfare spending while reducing spending on infrastructure and housing. Election data suggest that these policy changes were partly driven by the political influence of the immigrants: in high-inflow regions, the major parties were more likely to nominate immigrants as candidates, and a pro-immigrant party received high vote shares. We further document that this episode of mass immigration had lasting effects on people's preferences for redistribution. In areas with larger inflows in the 1940s, people have substantially higher demand for redistribution more than 50 years later.

    This paper studies the effects of a large welfare benefit reduction on the children in the affected families. The welfare cut targeted adult refugees who received residency in Denmark, and it reduced their disposable income by 30 percent on average over the first five years. We show that children exposed to the welfare cut during preschool and school-age obtained lower GPAs, experienced reduced well-being and overall education levels, and suffered lower employment and earnings as adults. Children in their teens at exposure faced large increases in conviction probabilities for violent and property crimes.

    This article attempts to identify social investment strategies across EU countries and explain their evolution over the period 2004-18, by using cluster analysis on expenditure and coverage variables and qualitative analysis on selected policy areas to contextualize the results. It finds that strategies have diversified over time in a progressively complex way. After the financial crisis, three main social investment strategies emerge in Europe. They do not overlap with canonical welfare state models, nor have a clear-cut geographical connotation. The strategies are distinct because of their different levels of overall expenditure on social investment but, over time, also by their different life-course orientations. Significant variation within the clusters, in terms of both expenditure and design of social investment policies, indicates that fully-fledged strategies have not yet formed in well-defined groups of countries.

    Previous literature has found that extending the suffrage to both females and poorer voters increases the supply of public goods. This paper investigates whether the difference in voting between men and women can be explained by differences in income alone, or if there exist gender specific differences in preferences. I exploit two key features of the expansion of suffrage in municipality elections in early 20th century Norway. First, the time at which people gained the right to vote depended on both their gender and their household income. Second, the income threshold for suffrage was set nationally, creating variation across municipalities in the share of new voters following each extension of the suffrage. This variation allows me to estimate separate effects for the change in supply of health personnel following the extension of suffrage to poor men, rich women, and poor women, respectively. I find that the enfranchisement of both poor men and rich women increases the supply of doctors relative to when only rich men had the right to vote. These results are consistent with gender specific preferences for health services to the community.

    We investigate the link between biased beliefs about immigrants, economic concerns and policy preferences. Conducting representative survey experiments with more than 8000 respondents, we first document substantial biases in respondents' beliefs about the immigrant population in various domains. Exposure to different types of signals about immigrants reduces concerns about adverse effects of immigration on the welfare state. On the contrary, different types of signals offset their effects on concerns about increasing labor market competition. Employing a data-driven approach to uncover systematic effect heterogeneity, we find that prior beliefs about immigration explain conditional average treatment effects. While attitudinal change is thus more pronounced among individuals with pre-intervention biases about immigrants, education and attitudes towards cultural diversity are additional drivers of heterogeneity. Treatment effects on welfare state concerns persist in a five to eight week follow-up.

    The comparative study of housing decommodification lags behind classical welfare state research, while housing research itself is rich in homeownership studies but lacks comparative accounts of private and social rentals due to missing comparative data. Building on existing works and various primary sources, this study presents a new collection of up to forty-eight countries’ social housing shares in stock and new construction since the first housing laws around 1900. The interpolated benchmark time series generally describe the rise and fall of social housing across a residual, a socialist, and a Northern-European housing group. The decline was steeper than for the classical welfare state, but the degree of erosion was surprisingly small in some countries where public housing associations remained resilient. Within the broader housing welfare state, social housing correlates positively with rent regulation and allowances, but negatively with homeownership subsidies and liberal mortgage regulation. A multivariate analysis shows that social housing is rather explained by housing shortages and complementarities with rental and welfare policies than by typical welfare state theories (GDP, political parties). Generally, the paper shows that conventional housing typologies are difficult to defend over time and argues more generally for including housing decommodification in welfare state research. Die vergleichende Forschung zur Dekommodifizierung des Gutes Wohnen ist bisher von der klassischen Wohlfahrtsstaatsforschung vernachlässigt worden. Die Wohnungsforschung selbst ist wiederum reich an Studien zum Wohneigentum, aber vergleichende Darstellungen zu privaten und sozialen Mietwohnungen sind aufgrund fehlender komparativer Daten wenig erforscht. Aufbauend auf bestehenden Arbeiten und verschiedenen Primärquellen stellt diese Studie daher zunächst eine neue Datensammlung von bis zu 48 Ländern vor, die den Anteil der Sozialwohnungen an den Beständen und Neubauten seit den ersten Wohnungsbaugesetzen um 1900 erfasst. Die interpolierten Benchmark-Zeitreihen beschreiben im Allgemeinen den Aufstieg und Fall des sozialen Wohnungsbaus in einem residualen, sozialistischen und einem nordeuropäischen Wohnungsregime. Der Rückgang war steiler als beim klassischen Wohlfahrtsstaat, aber überraschend resilient in Ländern mit öffentlichen Wohnungsbaugesellschaften. Innerhalb des umfassenderen Wohnungswohlfahrtsstaates korreliert der soziale Wohnungsbau positiv mit der Regulierung von Mieten und Wohngeldzahlungen, aber negativ mit Wohneigentumssubventionen und liberalen Hypothekenregelungen. Eine multivariate Analyse zeigt, dass der soziale Wohnungsbau eher durch Wohnungsknappheit und funktionale Komplementarität mit Miet- und Sozialpolitik als mit typischen wohlfahrtsstaatlichen Faktoren (BIP, politische Parteien) erklärt wird. Generell zeigt der Beitrag, dass herkömmliche Wohnungstypologien im Laufe der Zeit nur schwer zu verteidigen sind, und plädiert dafür, die Dekommodifizierung von Wohnraum stärker in die Wohlfahrtsstaatsforschung einzubeziehen.

    One of the most prominent trends in Western welfare capitalism during the last decades has been the expansion of welfare services as an outcome of the transition from the Fordist to a 'post-industrial' settlement, driven by changes in the wider society and the economic system. The advent of what has been called a 'welfare service state' is part and parcel of a broader transformation propelled by the paradigms of 'activation' and 'social investment', with all the ambiguities endemic to intentions to ensure a more egalitarian distribution of human capital by an increased commodification of labour. These ambiguities impact upon the universe of welfare service provision which must deal with incompatible rationales, that is, a market and business logic on the one hand, and 'professional' and ethical norms on the other. Inspired by the 'cultural political economy' approach, we contend that insights into the 'mental processing' of human services by specialised organisations under these institutional conditions are crucial for understanding the chemistry of contemporary welfare capitalism more generally. To capture the role of the welfare service sector in the current settlement, we draw on findings from the field of continuing and vocational education for jobseekers and young people - a sector which has been largely neglected by the public debate in recent years, despite its growing importance in times of ongoing technological change. Our paper is based on qualitative case studies conducted in two regions of Germany, and our research concept borrows from different bodies of theory that deal with the political economy and sociology of the welfare state, human service organisations, and with emotional work. First, we explore the organisational dynamics of welfare service providers in their interaction with a quasi-market- based governance model; secondly, we scrutinize the sense-making of the service-providing personnel with an eye on how it is influenced by the conflicting rationales mentioned above. More specifically, we argue that emotional dynamics within the organisational settings under scrutiny are an important catalyst in the transformation of the political economy of contemporary welfare capitalism, moderating the interplay of institutional governance, organisational steering, and individual self-management. The mechanisms at play are conceptualised as emotional regimes which make the welfare service sector work despite its institutionalised precarity - even during the Covid-19 pandemic that can be seen as an 'eye-opener' to longstanding problems of the sector under study. Our analysis also suggests that there may be a tipping point at which these mechanisms cease to accommodate the post-industrial settlement of a 'recommodified' welfare capitalism.

    We conduct a survey experiment on the effect of information provision on attitudes towards immigration in Germany. The focus lies on two theory-based economic channels, labor market and welfare state concerns, and immigration policy preferences. Using probability-based representative survey data, we experimentally vary the quantity and the type of information provided to respondents. We find that a bundle of information on both the share and the unemployment rate of foreigners robustly decreases welfare state concerns about immigration. There are slightly less pronounced effects on the labor market and policy channels. Further data-driven analyses reveal heterogeneity in treatment effects. Our findings therefore suggest that careful composition and targeting of information interventions can increase their effectiveness in the public debate on immigration.
