State Western

This book traces the rise of the modern state -- a mode of organizing political power within a closed territory -- in post-Enlightenment Europe and its spread to the remainder of the world, especially colonial and postcolonial societies. The result of a long process of evolution dating back to the Roman Empire, this new form of state was characterized by the coincidence of public power and public space and the legalization of political and social relations. Intimately linked to the transformation of Western European cultures at a time when their economic might allowed them to conquer many regions of the world, the modern state provided a model that was adopted in most countries. The book analyzes the different conditions in which the modern state was grafted onto different cultural realities: a metropolitan model adopted by settlers or imposed as an instrument of colonial domination, or a representation of modernity selected by non-Western leaders out of fascination for its alleged efficiency and rationality. The author shows that, from the beginning, various logics of importation led non-Western cultures to invent their own practices of the state, thereby transforming the original model. In many countries, notably in postcolonial societies, discrepancies appeared between political actions and political representations and principles on which the state was supposed to rest. This has often led to political crises and breakdowns of legality and legitimacy, and to the formation of new types of social relations in spaces the state cannot control. At the international level, a similar phenomenon can be seen: international networks, based on trade links, religion, and culture, are now ableto bypass official interstate relations.

HOW DO THE NORDIC WELFARE STATES COMPARE WITH OTHERS IN WESTERN EUROPE? ARE EUROPEAN WELFARE STATES CONVERGING? This important sequel to Nordic Social Policy (Routledge 1999) compares welfare state development over the last twenty years in Denmark, Finland, Norway and Sweden with that of Germany, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom and other Western European countries. Topics covered include: -- INCOME DISTRIBUTION, HEALTH INEQUALITIES AND GENDER EQUALITY -- GENDER POLICIES, HEALTH AND SOCIAL CARE SERVICES AND POLICY REACTION TO FAMILY CHANGES -- SOCIAL SECURITY AND EMPLOYMENT POLICIES -- FINANCING OF WELFARE STATES In the context of globalisation, ageing, changing family and employment patterns, and rising inequalities, Nordic Welfare States in the European Context offers an empirical analysis of welfare state adaptations and a lively discussion of the development of European social policy. It finds a greater ambiguity regarding variation and trends than is commonly suggested. Contrary to expectation, there is little evidence of Europeanisation of the Nordic welfare states, rather the reverse. The comparable and empirical data used in this study make it a unique contribution to understanding current trends in European social policy.
