Abstract:
AbstractThis article contributes to the literatures on the governance of activation and the territorial structure of the welfare state by drawing attention to the institutional designs of active welfare states and the architectures of decentralisation, as well as to their manifestations and implications. With the end of capturing dissimilar intergovernmental models of activation, this paper develops a framework of ‘centre–regional’ relations, which we apply to the cases of Italy and Spain – two countries that have devolved active labour market policy powers to their regions but have organised power-sharing structures very differently. The findings suggest that when it comes to active welfare states, horizontal arrangements are linked to salient institutional variations across the territory. By contrast, hierarchical structures, which are characterised by a dominant role of central level governments, are linked to higher levels of cohesion. These findings are relevant as they expose the manifestations and implications of distinct decentralisation models on activation regimes, welfare states, as well as on welfare clients.

Abstract:
The rise of anti-immigrant racism over the past two decades has taken place through multiple mechanisms and processes, including the resurgence of welfare racism, which has been re-functionalized towards refugees and asylum seekers. As a key weapon of today’s sovereignism and white supremacism, the “return” of welfare racism is intrinsic to the rise of neo-liberal racism and is an integral part of a global process of erosion of social rights, weakening of social citizenship, and dismantling of the welfare state. Welfare racism—a combination of racial discrimination in the welfare system and racialized welfare discourse—operates through discriminatory laws and measures related to social benefits and through public discourses depicting refugees, immigrants, and people of color as parasites and scroungers sponging off the welfare state. The resurgence of welfare racism in the last decade has seen the specific spread of welfare racism against refugees and asylum seekers as part of the dual war on asylum and on the welfare state. This article examines the ideological-discursive dimension of welfare racism (that is, the public discourses, rhetoric, and images), first analyzing the development, dimensions, and characteristics of racialized welfare discourse more generally, then focusing on racialized welfare discourses about refugees and asylum seekers in contemporary Italy. It explores the arguments and conceptual metaphors of the racialized welfare discourse on asylum seekers, revealing the devices and dynamics at play in the construction of the refugee as a “scrounger” and welfare abuser. Furthermore, it highlights the consequences of racialized welfare discourse on public policies (particularly on social policies and welfare controls), on migration policies (particularly on immigration controls and internal controls), and on the relationship between citizens and migrants, receiving societies, and newcomers.

Abstract:
Abstract This paper focuses on the effects of selected Italian welfare instruments, such as the seniority pensions and the early retirement pensions. The main instruments of the Italian welfare state are described, distinguishing between assistance and insurance transfers. With a cluster analysis, the distribution of specific welfare instruments among Italian regions is thoroughly investigated and then the link between retirement decisions and the selected welfare instruments is assessed. T h e main hypothesis under investigation is that the relatively easy access to various social transfer programs enabled certain categories of older workers to withdraw from the labor market. In this framework, Italian public pensions played a prominent role in the transfer programs becoming the improper device used by the Italian government to cope with unemployment problems.

Abstract:
If we compare the welfare state countries with others, from the point of view of both health and health services, the crisis concerns primarily the second group of countries. Nevertheless, difficulties arise also for welfare state policies. The problem is how to respond to neoconservative attacks on social and health rights, and how to change the bureaucratic and medicalized bias of the welfare state. The “golden era” of social insurance and health services, conceived as free access to funds to cope with all the growing needs of the population, is over. Limitations, controls, and priorities have to be established. In Italy and similar countries, the tendency is toward restricting health care for those who have greater needs, cutting funds for prevention, and creating greater inequalities. It is clear that the state must intervene to reduce social inequalities, but at the same time some existing differences (sexual, cultural, ethnic) have an intrinsic value that must be recognized. A policy of free-choice welfare is useful, and has nothing to do with the selective measures that are being introduced. Moreover, a key point has become the relationship between class and gender. The working class continues to be exploited, but new phenomena arise, connected with production and social reproduction and not limited to this sphere. It is true that gender includes social classes, but no social class may represent both sexes, or different ethnic groups, or gender itself.

Abstract:
The article investigates the relationship between the welfare state and social capital in Europe during the 1990s and the 2000s using structural equation modelling (SEM). By formulating and testing the hypothesis that welfare state generosity and welfare state size have different effects on social capital, we reassess the explanatory power of the main theories in the field and the findings of previous empirical work. We strongly support the contention of institutional theory that there is a positive association between high degrees of welfare state generosity and social capital. Moreover, we partially confirm the concern of neoclassical and communitarian theories for the negative correlation between large-size welfare states and social capital. The positive relationship between welfare state generosity and social capital is much stronger than the negative association observed with welfare state size. Finally, we interpret the considerable cross-country variation using welfare regime theory and several country cases. We illuminate different mechanisms linking welfare state development and social capital creation, discussing the Danish and Dutch third sector experiences and pointing to Sweden as an exceptional case of decline. Furthermore, we highlight the importance of regional variation in Belgium, Germany and Italy and complement the analysis also briefly discussing the Austrian, French, Irish and British cases.

Abstract:
This article puts contemporary debates about the relationship between immigration policy and the welfare state in historical perspective. Relying on new historical data, the article examines the relationship between immigration policy and social policy in Western Europe in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, when the modern welfare state emerged. Germany already had comparably strict immigration policies when the German Empire introduced the world’s first national social insurances in the 1880s. Denmark, another early social-policy adopter, also pursued restrictive immigration policies early on. Almost all other countries in Western Europe started out with more liberal immigration policies than Germany’s and Denmark’s, but then adopted more restrictive immigration policies and more generous social policies concurrently. There are two exceptions, Belgium and Italy, which are discussed in the article.

Abstract:
This article is an empirical analysis of how social regulation is integrated into the welfare state. I compare health, migration, and unemployment policy reforms in Australia, Austria, Canada, Belgium, France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Sweden, Switzerland, the UK, and the United States from 1980 to 2014. Results show that the timing of reform events is similar among countries for health and unemployment policy but differs among countries for migration policy. For migration and unemployment policy, the integration of regulation and welfare is more likely to entail conditionality compared to health policy. In other words, in these two policy fields, it is more common that claimants receive financial support upon compliance with social regulations. Liberal or Continental European welfare regimes are especially inclined to integration. I conclude that integrating regulation and welfare entails a double goal: “bossing” citizens by making them take up available jobs while expelling migrants and refugees for minor offenses; and protecting citizens from risks, such as noncommunicable diseases.

Abstract:
Antes del inicio de la Primera Guerra Mundial, Italia se encontraba entre los países europeos menos avanzados en términos de políticas sociales. Esto se debió tanto a la fragilidad del proceso de construcción del Estado, que comenzó en 1860, como a la debilidad relativa de las organizaciones de trabajadores. Atendiendo a líneas de acercamiento recientes que muestra los múltiples vínculos causales entre los desarrollos del Estado de Bienestar y la guerra, este artículo pretende examinar las peculiaridades del escenario italiano. Enfrentados a las nuevas necesidades sociales provocadas por la guerra total, los gobiernos italianos experimentaron una actividad sin precedentes en el campo de las políticas sociales, especialmente en el último año del conflicto y en el período inmediato de posguerra, lo que supuso una evolución radical con respecto al contexto de preguerra. Al analizar las diversas medidas adoptadas, y la retórica que las justificaba y rodeaba, este texto muestra cómo la Primera Guerra Mundial puede considerarse como el verdadero punto de arranque en la construcción del Welfare Stateitaliano.

Abstract:
An institutional pattern of administrative inertia and resistance has traditionally characterised the reform of the Italian State. It is widely held that the historical development of the state has contributed to this immobilisme. The effect of the Italian system of party government on bureaucratic autonomy is also blamed for the failure (until recently) of attempts to reform the Italian state. However, definite changes affecting welfare administration in Italy reveal a radical departure from the status quo, as a result of particular reform mechanisms and the strategies of elites in handling blockages during the process of legislative implementation of delegating laws designed to introduce ambitious reform programmes. 'Dynamic conservatism' is the novel theoretical approach elaborated here to study policy change in such stalled administrative systems, and it offers an explanation of how it becomes possible to break historically determined immobilisme. The case of healthcare reforms in Italy in the 1990s has marked an impressive departure from traditional administrative practice. The thesis argues that two key innovations have been accomplished: first, the emergence of public managers charged with extensive policy leadership at the top of regional welfare administration, increasingly legitimised by expertise and technical knowledge rather than political entrepreneurialism; secondly, the reconfiguration of traditional centre- periphery relations, triggered by the territorial disturbance caused by regionalisation. The consolidation of policy change, underpinned by the paradigm of the entrepreneurial state, was most noticeable at regional level. Such change was achieved, however, only by handling beforehand two major blockages: first, the opposition of political parties during the parliamentary process to the reconfiguration of the relationship between politics and administration; secondly, the adversarial response of interest groups to policy change.

Abstract:

In this study, attitudes towards female employment and the division of labour between men and women in Germany, Italy and Sweden are explored. Using a quantitative approach, the first objective is to examine how political ideologies and welfare political models are reflected in or accompany attitudes towards female labour market participation among different groups in the three welfare states. Welfare policies significantly influence women’s choices to enter and remain in employment and to achieve individual social rights. Based on a more qualitative approach, the second aim is to study policy dynamics in relation to changing value orientations, and to track the emergence of alternative policies and their intended target groups. For this purpose local political implementers in each country were interviewed.

The overall conclusion is that that the ways in which certain patterns of gender relations occur are closely related to the designs of national welfare policies. Still, within the groups of women and men factors such as age, educational attainment levels and family status are important or even decisive for attitudes towards female labour market participation. In addition, the extent to which attitudes correspond to actual female labour market behaviour seems largely to be a matter of public policy. While all three studies point at important national differences in welfare policies at the same time as patterns of value orientations converge, especially among women, the comparison of local policy levels reveals important withincountry variations. These variations concern the quantity as well as the quality of policy measures, that is, the political implications for gender on socio-economic situation, alternative political majority and historical and cultural heritage. Variations in local policy formulations are large in Italy and less pronounced in Germany and Sweden, and they illustrate the different political emphasis placed on the preservation, modification or transformation of what is defined as gender equality and as local or national cultural traditions. Local social and labour market policies depict quite different approaches. The degree of state control versus local autonomy is relevant for the outcome of local social policies on gender and both national and local policy formulations are important in determining whether the normative emphasis should be placed on the maintenance, reinforcement or alteration of gender relations. While such choices and decisions also include the acceptance or rejection of national, and even local differences in definitions of citizenship rights, they point at the inherent relativity of the concept and as a result, its gendering effects on social, economic and political equality.

Abstract:
La connotazione del concetto di mix socio-abitativo è strettamente legata al contesto storico e socio-economico di riferimento, nonché alle specificità nazionali, locali e micro-locali. Negli anni Novanta, il concetto di mix sociale è entrato nell'agenda urbana di molti paesi dell'Europa occidentale nel quadro delle politiche di riqualificazione urbana area-based di contrasto alla segregazione urbana. L’aumento delle disuguaglianze socio-economiche, della segregazione residenziale, delle forme di diversità urbana e del problema dell’affordability nel mercato abitativo, che colpisce gruppi sociali sempre più diversificati, rappresentano alcune delle tendenze principali che caratterizzano le società urbane del XXI secolo. Tali dinamiche offrono l’occasione per studiare la trasformazione dell'idea di mix sociale nell’attuale contesto storico. Ciascuna tendenza assume risvolti specifici a seconda del contesto nazionale e locale di riferimento, anche per effetto dei diversi sistemi abitativi e di welfare. L'obiettivo di questa tesi è comprendere se e come le attuali tendenze e sfide macro-economiche e sociali stanno trasformando la concettualizzazione del mix sociale e comprendere il ruolo giocato dai fattori contestuali, in particolare quelli relativi ai recenti sviluppi dei sistemi abitativi e di welfare, nel determinare similitudini e/o differenze in questo processo di trasformazione. La tesi esamina come la trasformazione dell’idea di mix sociale sta modificando i ruoli, le strategie e la mission di policy-makers e operatori, nonché le interazioni tra inquilini e le loro relazioni con gli stessi operatori. La tesi confronta Italia e Paesi Bassi, due paesi con regimi di welfare e sistemi abitativi differenti. Di fronte all'aumento della domanda di alloggi a prezzi accessibili che riguarda un’utenza sempre più ampia e diversificata, in entrambi i paesi si osserva lo sviluppo di nuovi progetti di edilizia sociale indirizzati ad un mix di diversi gruppi sociali, in particolare tra inquilini “consapevoli” (es. studenti, giovani ecc.) e inquilini “vulnerabili” (es. nuclei socio-economicamente svantaggiati, rifugiati, ecc.). La tesi si basa sull'analisi di casi studio, ovvero due progetti di “Magic Mix”, cioè Startblok Riekerhaven ad Amsterdam e Majella Wonen a Utrecht, e tre progetti di housing sociale, cioè Casa dell'Accoglienza, ViVi Voltri e Ospitalità Solidale nell’area di Milano. Sono state condotte 48 interviste semi-strutturate con operatori, responsabili di progetto, policy-makers e un focus group con inquilini. La tesi contribuisce alla letteratura sul mix sociale, proponendone una nuova concettualizzazione. A differenza della cornice entro cui si innestava l’idea di mix sociale negli anni Novanta, ovvero contrasto alla segregazione residenziale tramite ristrutturazione e diversificazione abitativa di interi quartieri, attualmente l’elemento cardine del mix sociale è la responsabilizzazione individuale. La tesi analizza le strategie volte ad aumentare il grado di responsabilizzazione degli inquilini. Da un lato si tratta di sperimentare approcci innovativi alla gestione abitativa, quali l’autogestione nei Paesi Bassi e la Gestione Sociale in Italia, che implicano nuovi ruoli e obblighi per gli inquilini; dall’altro si introduce un principio di condizionalità tale per cui l’assegnazione degli alloggi sociali avviene a condizione che gli inquilini si impegnino regolarmente in attività di sostegno all'interno del progetto abitativo. La tesi dimostra che l’idoneità a beneficiare delle nuove soluzioni abitative, sviluppate per contrastare il crescente e sempre più diffuso problema della scarsa affordability, comporta anche nuovi obblighi a carico degli inquilini legati al dovere di attivarsi nei confronti della propria comunità di abitanti.
Discourses, values and connotation attached to the concept of social mix in housing studies are strongly shaped by the broad socio-economic and historical context as well as the specifics at national, city, and neighbourhood level. In the 1990s, the notion of social mix entered the housing and urban agenda of many Western European countries in the policy frame of area-based, state-led urban renewal programmes against residential segregation. The 21st century society is characterized by global dynamics and societal trends, such as the growing socio-economic inequalities and residential segregation; the increasing problem of housing affordability affecting a variety of social groups, and the growing urban diversity, which provide new opportunities to reframe the ideal of social mix. Such macro dynamics unfold differently from context to context, due also to the role played by different welfare regimes and housing systems. In this light, the aim of this dissertation is to better understand whether and how contemporary macro trends and societal challenges are reshaping the current framing of social mix, and to provide a better understanding of the role of contextual factors, in particular those related to current developments in welfare and housing systems, in determining different and/or similar patterns of such reframing process. The dissertation specifically looks at how the current framing of social mix is re-shaping housing professionals’ roles, strategies and missions as well as the interactions between tenants and their relationships with professionals. This dissertation compares Italy and the Netherlands, which are characterized by different welfare regimes and housing systems. However, facing rising demand for affordable housing by a widespread and differentiated audience, in both countries policy-makers and practitioners address this emerging need by implementing new social housing projects targeting diverse social groups, which results in a fine-grained social mix between ‘resourceful’ tenants (e.g. students, young households, etc.) and ‘vulnerable’ tenants (e.g. welfare dependents, refugees, etc.). The dissertation is based on case study analysis of two Magic Mix projects, i.e. Startblok Riekerhaven in Amsterdam and Majella Wonen in Utrecht, and three Housing Sociale projects, i.e. Casa dell’Accoglienza, ViVi Voltri and Ospitalità Solidale in Milan and its metropolitan area. Totally, 48 semi-structured interviews with professionals, project managers, policy-makers and one focus group with tenants have been conducted. This dissertation contributes the existing literature on social mix by elaborating a new conceptualization of this notion. While the 1990s-framing of social mix was mainly focused on combating residential segregation at neighbourhood level, central to such new conceptualization of social mix is the promotion of individuals’ self-responsibilisation. The dissertation examines specific strategies that are promoted by professionals to increase tenants’ responsibilities. First, it investigates innovative housing management approaches, e.g. self-management and Social Management, in which tenants’ are assigned wider roles and obligations in the processes of housing management,. Second, it examines the principle of conditionality underling these projects, i.e. allocating social dwellings provided that tenants regularly engage in supportive activities within the housing project. The dissertation shows that the eligibility for new social housing opportunities, which aim to address the widespread problem of affordable housing, entails also new obligations and behavioral patterns for tenants in terms of additional duties towards the community.

The study concentrates on a particular type of state intervention in social policy. It considers whether policy reforms and subsequent provision of information with regards to the issue of parental leave and part-time work arrangements, makes an impact on gender equity in the labour market (Del Boca, 2002; Naldini & Saraceno, 2008). Giddens' theory of structuration is the conceptual framework from which this study approaches these questions. It is thus held that agents (in this instance, women) are constrained by structures (labour policy framework and institutionalised labour practices) to achieve specific social goals. And further: that the apparent lack of power on the part of agents requires intervention on the part of the state apparatus to correct the failure (or inability) of the labour market to deliver the social justice as aspired to in the cited European Employment Strategy, as well as fostering economic efficiency (Barr, 1992). I further contend that not only are agents constrained by structural properties, but that institutional reform (in the form of labour policy reform) is constrained by the human action1 of the management of firms and enterprises as economic agents within the policy framework.

L'objectif de cette recherche est d'analyser l'évolution des Organisations du Tiers Secteur (OTS) impliqués dans l’offre de un service social, en particulier, l’accueil de demandeurs d’asile. Cette étude se focalise sur la transformation marchand du secteur, la corporatization des structures; et la professionnalisation de ses acteurs. Afin de comprendre ces dynamiques, j'ai formulé la suivante demande de recherche: "sous de fortes pressions institutionnelles, comment les OTS impliqués dans l’offre de services d'accueil des demandeurs d'asile, sont-elles capables de maintenir leur identité organisationnelle, tout en continuant à se distinguer des autres formes d’organisation?”En ordre de répondre à cette question, j'ai appliqué une analyse à plusieurs niveaux (multi-level analysis) et processuelle, basée sur une perspective institutionnelle. Alors que le niveau macro est analysé à travers une approche économique - New Institutional Economics (North, 1991, Williamson 2000), les niveaux méso et micro sont abordés dans une perspective organisationnelle. D’ un point de vue méthodologique, l’ analyse multi-niveaux et processuelle est poursuivie en utilisant une approche de méthodes mixtes. Alors que l’imposition de la concurrence par moyen des marchés publiques et appel à projets est justifiée comme étant capable de permettre d’améliorer l’efficacité du marché, mais ce que on a pu observer par moyen de cette étude c’est que ces mécanismes ouvrent surtout le marché à des entreprises commerciales avec le risque de provoquer une perte du lien relationnel, et la disparition du tissu associatif
The aim of this research is to analyse the business- like evolution of third Sector Organisations (TSOs) My case Study is based on the migration reception system and is a comparison between the Italian and the French case. The sector is particularly interesting, because we can observe a very rapid change, at the institutional, governance and organisational level. The very rapid legislative evolution on migration policies, at national as well as European level, the definition of a quasi-market through the implementation of specific funding instruments with a consequent change in number and kind of actors, are three of the main aspects characterising the evolution of the sector in the last 30 years.In order to understand these dynamics I formulated the following Research Question: “under strong institutional pressures, how are TSOs dealing with asylum seekers reception services, able to maintain their organisational identities, continuing to distinguish themselves from other organisational forms?”Concerning the Analytical framework adopted to study the business like evolution, I applied a multilevel and processual analysis based on an institutional perspective. While the macro level will be analysed through a new institutional economic lens, the meso and micro levels will be tackled through an organisational perspective. Finally, this multilevel and processual analysis will be pursued using a mix methods approach

In recent years, a number of European countries have undergone important processes of territorial reconfiguration in the administration and delivery of social services. This has produced substantial divergences in the levels and types of welfare development across regions belonging to the same country. As a result, it has become increasingly difficult to talk about 'national welfare systems' or 'national social models' – although most of the mainstream welfare literature continues to do so. The aim of this study is to explore the political factors that explain cross-regional variation in the development of health care and social assistance policies in three countries that have witnessed the gradual strengthening of regions as arenas of social policy making: Italy, Spain and Great Britain. The research focus is on the effects of two political cleavages, centre-periphery and left-right, on sub-national social policy. The findings of the quantitative and qualitative analyses presented throughout this research suggest that the main driving force in the construction of sub-state welfare systems is the political mobilisation of territorial identities through the creation and electoral consolidation of regionalist parties. Indeed, such parties may use regional social policy to reinforce the sense of distinctiveness and territorial solidarity that exists in the communities they represent, thus further strengthening and legitimising their political role. Additionally, the centre-periphery cleavage may also affect relations across different organisational levels of 'statewide' parties and further increase the relevance of territoriality in welfare politics at the regional level. On the other hand, traditional left-right politics does not seem to play the central role that welfare theories focusing on 'nation-states' might lead us to expect. For left-wing parties, the regionalisation of social governance may present either an opportunity or a challenge depending on the role they play in national politics and on the characteristics of sub-national electoral competitors. Generally, mainstream centre-left parties are torn by the dilemma of maintaining uniformity and cohesion in social protection across the national territory and addressing the demands for more extensive and distinctive social services coming from specific regional communities.

Abstract:
AbstractUnemployment protection systems have certain characteristics in common in Argentina, Uruguay, Spain and Italy: they are compulsory and contributory-proportional, although in Uruguay, it also has a capitalisation supplement. Despite the similarities, they work differently because the context of informal employment chiefly, and unemployment, low salaries and precariousness differ greatly. Consequently, the unemployment protection coverage rate varies. Theories of the Active Welfare State, the Investor State and the reforms of unemployment protection systems have led to a certain modernising language being adopted in these countries: activation, employability, conditionality, lifelong learning, flexibility, which are, among others, words shared with Europe.However, the meanings of these words differ according to the institutional context of each country. In Latin America the welfare state is low institutionalised even almost non-existent, while in Europe it is a diverse institution. Despite this, the four countries share an upward trend in benefit policies, in accordance with the increase in poverty risk.
