Welfare Attitudes in Context --$tIndex 330 $aThe welfare state is a trademark of the European social model. An extensive set of social and institutional actors provides protection against common risks, offering economic support in periods of hardship and ensuring access to care and services. Welfare policies define a set of social rights and address common vulnerabilities to protect citizens from market uncertainties. But over recent decades, European welfare states have undergone profound restructuring and recalibration. This book analyzes people's attitudes toward welfare policies across Europe, and offers a novel comparison with the United States. Occupied with normative orientations toward the redistribution of resources and public policies aimed at ameliorating adverse conditions, the book focuses on the interplay between individual welfare attitudes and behavior, institutional contexts, and structural variables. It provides essential input into the comparative study of welfare state attitudes and offers critical insights into the public legitimacy of welfare state reform. 410 0$aStudies in Social Inequality 606 $aPublic welfare$zEurope$xPublic opinion 606 $aWelfare state$zEurope$xPublic opinion 606 $aPublic opinion$zEurope 607 $aEurope$xSocial policy$xPublic opinion 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aPublic welfare$xPublic opinion. 615 0$aWelfare state$xPublic opinion. 615 0$aPublic opinion 676 $a361.94 701 $aSvallfors$b Stefan$0889428 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910462184803321 996 $aContested welfare states$92456052 997 $aUNINA
