The author examines the political factors that underlie these variations by combining cross-regional and cross-country comparisons using mixed methods. Vampa?s main finding is that regionalist parties have played a key role in sub-national welfare building and have used social policy to strengthen their legitimacy in the political struggle against central authorities. In this context, functional political competition between Left and Right has been partly replaced by territorial competition between Centre and Periphery as the main determinant of social policy making. Additionally, mainstream left-wing parties have been torn between maintaining territorial uniformity in social protection and responding to demands for more extensive social services tailored to the needs and preferences of specific regional communities. This book will be of use to academics and policy makers interested in political economy, devolution/decentralisation, welfare, and party politics. . 410 0$aComparative Territorial Politics 606 $aComparative politics 606 $aEurope?Politics and government 606 $aPublic policy 606 $aComparative Politics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/911040 606 $aEuropean Politics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/911130 606 $aPublic Policy$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/911060 615 0$aComparative politics. 615 0$aEurope?Politics and government. 615 0$aPublic policy. 615 14$aComparative Politics. 615 24$aEuropean Politics. 615 24$aPublic Policy. 676 $a320 700 $aVampa$b Davide$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0788566 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910255326003321 996 $aRegional politics of welfare in Italy, Spain and Great Britain$91757977 997 $aUNINA
