description In all advanced Western nations, policy-makers have implemented encompassing welfare state reforms in recent decades breaking with past welfare arrangements. In particular, social democracy engaged in significant policy change under the Third Way paradigm and broke with its traditional reputation on welfare that had built the ties with the core constituency in the 20th century. The Electoral Consequences of Third Way Welfare State Reforms: Social Democracy’s Transformation and its Political Costs provides a comparative study of the electoral consequences of Third Way welfare state reforms. The book demonstrates that Third Way reforms went against the social policy preferences of social democracy’s core voters and indeed produced an electoral setback for social democrats at the ballots. Moreover, and accounting for cross-national variation, the analysis shows that the nature of the setback is contingent on the electoral system and the party competition social democrats face when reforming the welfare state.

Dit boek analyseert de electorale gevolgen van de hervormingen in de welvaartsstaat in vier liberaal sociaaldemocratische landen in Europa. Deze zogenaamde ‘Derde Weg-sociaaldemocraten’ hervormden de welvaartsstaat zodanig dat een deel van het sociaaldemocratische electoraat zich definitief van hen afkeerde. Dit is de belangrijkste conclusie van dit boek, waarvoor vergelijkend onderzoek werd verricht in Zweden, Duitsland, Denemarken en Groot-Brittannië. 2021-02-10T12:58:18Z 2013-12-31 23:55:55 2019-12-10 14:46:32 2020-04-01T14:58:47Z 2013 book 452435 OCN: 861526837 http://library.oapen.org/handle/20.500.12657/33863 https://directory.doabooks.org/handle/20.500.12854/38672 eng Changing Welfare States open access image/jpeg image/jpeg image/jpeg n/a n/a n/a https://library.oapen.org/bitstream/20.500.12657/33863/1/452435.pdf https://library.oapen.org/bitstream/20.500.12657/33863/1/452435.pdf https://library.oapen.org/bitstream/20.500.12657/33863/1/452435.pdf Amsterdam University Press 10.26530/OAPEN_452435 10.26530/OAPEN_452435 de2ecbe7-1037-4e96-8c3a-5a842d921e04 280 open access
