This thesis explains differences in changes to family formation and stability in France, Norway, the FRG and the GDR based changes to family- and housing policy. Focus is on developments from the 1960s to the early 2000s. Previous research has focused on more recent developments from the 1980s onwards. A new conceptualization of family policy is introduced that enables a distinction between policy that alleviate the care giving role of mothers (de-familialization) and policies that intervene more directly in the caring responsibility within the family, aiming for a more equal share of childcare between women and men (de-genderization). Findings show that higher educated women are more likely of entry into marriage, when family policy provides more de-familalization (France, GDR) or de-genderization (Norway). But higher educated women are less likely of entry into marriage in the FRG where family policy remained conservative, forcing these women to choose between family and career. In the FRG where family policy remained conservative, with low support for female employment, married women with low levels of education became more likely of entry into divorce. A difference between women with different educational levels is not observed where family policy has included more de-familialziaiton and de-genderization. Findings for changes to housing policy are less convincing. Soft deregulation of rent control and tenure security has a positive effect on entry into consensual union in all countries, making a two person income household better equipped to cover the cost of rent increases that this change introduced. But results for the influence of support for home-ownership show little effect on entry into a marriage and divorce in all four countries. This may be because the full effect has not manifested itself yet. Extending the time period of analysis may provide more insights on the influence of these changes.

This dissertation investigates how public opinion and government partisanship affect social policy. It brings an innovative perspective that links the idea of democratic representation to debates about the welfare state. The general claim made here is that social policy is a function of public and government preferences. This claim hinges on two critical premises. The first relates to the general mechanisms that underlie government representation. Politicians have electoral incentives to align their actions with what citizens want. They may respond to public opinion indirectly by updating their party agendas, which can serve as the basis for social policy decisions in case they get elected. They may also respond directly by introducing welfare reforms that react to shifts in public opinion during their mandates. The second premise concerns how citizens and politicians structure their preferences over welfare. These preferences fall alongside two dimensions. First, general attitudes about how much should the state intervene in the economy to reduce inequality and promote economic well-being (how much policy). Second, the specific preferences about which social programmes should get better funding (what kind of policy). The empirical analysis is split into three empirical chapters. Each explores different aspects of government representation in Western European welfare states. The first empirical chapter (Chapter 4) asks how governments shape social policy when facing severe pressures to decrease spending. It argues that governments strategically reduce spending on programmes that offer less visible and indirect benefits, as they are less likely to trigger an electoral backlash. The experience of the Great Recession is consistent with this claim. Countries that faced the most challenging financial constraints cut down social investment and services. Except for Greece, they all preserved consumption schemes. The second empirical chapter (Chapter 5) explores how public opinion affects government spending priorities in different welfare programmes. It expects government responsiveness to depend on public mood for more or less government activity and the most salient social issues at the time. Empirical evidence from old-age, healthcare and education issue-policy areas supports these claims. Higher policy mood and issue saliency is positively associated with increasing spending efforts. Public opinion does not appear to affect unemployment policies. vii The third empirical chapter (Chapter 6) examines how party preferences affect spending priorities in unemployment programmes. It claims that preferences on economic intervention in the economy and welfare recalibration affect different components of unemployment policy. Evidence from the past 20 years bodes well with these expectations. The generosity of compensatory schemes depends on economic preferences. The left invests more than the right. The funding of active labour-market policies depends on both preference dimensions. Among conventional parties, their funding follows the same patterns as compensatory schemes. Among recalibration parties, parties across the economic spectrum present comparable spending patterns.

En el segundo y tercer capítulo se explora los fundamentos teóricos y la evidencia empírica de la literatura sobre la jubilación individual y jubilación de las parejas. En el cuarto capítulo, a partir de un enfoque macro institucional, se lleva a cabo un análisis teórico y empírico, de la influencia de cuatro regímenes (laboral, Estado del Bienestar, jubilación, género) en la jubilación de las tres tradiciones analizadas. Los resultados indican que existen tres contextos institucionales de jubilación de las parejas en Europa, compartiendo cada tradición de países características similares en su interior y a la vez diferenciándose entre ellas. A partir de esta tipología, en el último capítulo, los países se agrupan en tres tradiciones y se lleva a cabo un análisis micro econométrico. Los resultados indican que la edad de jubilación de las parejas está condicionada por las variables de los cónyuges, aunque con diferente intensidad dependiendo de la tradición del Estado de Bienestar y por el contexto institucional de los países analizados.

Повний текст джерелаForskningen kring välfärdsstatsattityder och dess determinanter är omfattande, men väldigt få studier intresserar sig för hur grundläggande mänskliga värderingar påverkar dessa attityder. Den här avhandlingen syftar till att fylla denna lucka genom att fokusera på relationen mellan värderingar och attityder till välfärdsstaten. Särskilt fokus har lagts på att utforska den modererande inverkan som kontextuella faktorer har på länken mellan värderingar och attityder i olika nationella kontexter. I den bemärkelsen syftar avhandlingen även att bidra till forskningen om hur institutioner och andra kontextuella faktorer är kopplade till formeringen av attityder, där man ännu inte lyckats hitta en tydligt framträdande relation mellan den nationella kontexten formeringen av attityder på individnivån. För att kunna mäta värderingar på ett adekvat sätt, och för att kunna estimera och jämföra effekterna av värderingar på välfärdsstatsattityder i olika nationella kontexter, har konfirmatorisk faktoranalys (CFA) och strukturella ekvationsmodeller (MGSEM) använts. Dessa metoder tillåter testandet av ekvivalens med avseende på de mätinstrument som används, dvs. om måtten för värderingar har samma betydelse i olika grupper, vilket är en förutsättning för att kunna jämföra effekterna av värderingar i olika länder. Data på individnivå beträffande värderingar och attityder har hämtats från European Social Survey (ESS) från åren 2002-08. Dessutom har kontextdata hämtats från en rad olika källor. Resultaten visar att värderingar kan spela en betydande roll i att forma attityder till välfärdsstaten, men samtidigt att värderingarnas inverkan varierar kraftigt mellan olika länder. Flera faktorer i den nationella kontexten, såsom graden av generositet i välfärdsstatssystemen, samt de välfärdsstatliga institutionernas diskursiva inramning och deras socioekonomiska utfall, modererar länken mellan värderingar och attityder. Exempelvis, jämlikhetsorienterade värderingar har större betydelse för attityder till välfärdsstaten i mer generösa välfärdsstater och där omfördelningspolitiska frågor i högre grad präglar den politiska debatten. Vidare finns det klasskillnader i kopplingen mellan värderingar och attityder, i bemärkelsen att de med lägre utbildning och mindre intellektuellt krävande arbeten i mindre utsträckning formar sina attityder baserat deras värderingar. Dessa klasskillnader är särskillt stora i länder där de lägre klasserna är särskilt riskutsatta samt i högre grad saknar resurser att möta dessa risker. Medan värderingar har en betydande påverkan på generella attityder till välfärdsstaten i många länder så är länken mellan värderingar och stödet för specifika omfördelningsstategier svag eller icke existerande i de flesta länder som studerats. Slutligen så visar resultaten att de värderingar som ligger till grund för välfärdsstatsattityder i Östeuropeiska länder är fundamentalt annorlunda än de i Västeuropa. Jämlikhetsorienterade värderingar spelar en betydande roll i Västeuropeiska länder medan konservativa värderingar spelar en mer framträdande roll i Östeuropa. Resultaten föreslår att relationen mellan värderingar och attityder till välfärdsstaten beror på (i) om människor upplever att välfärdsstatens institutioner har betydande konsekvenser för deras möjligheter att få sina värderingar realiserade, och (i) frånvaron eller närvaron av konkurrerande motiv. Därmed är det inte nödvändigtvis så att människor som är mer jämliksorienterade i sina värderingar även är mer positivt inställda till välfärdsstaten och omfördelning. Detta beror istället på kontextuella faktorer, såsom institutioner och deras utfall, och deras inverkan på länken mellan värderingar och attityder. I motsats till tidigare forskning, som haft svårt att hitta tydliga kopplingar mellan exempelvis institutioner och attityder, så visar resultaten i denna avhandling att finns tydliga kopplingar mellan makro- och mikronivån men att dessa inte är så okomplicerade och direkta som man tidigare trott. Istället verkar det vara i samspelet mellan värderingar, attityder och institutioner som denna relations kan hittas.

Повний текст джерелаThis dissertation proposed a typology that accounts for the diversity of public policies promoting young people’s independence, i.e. what I call ‘youth welfare citizenship’, in Europe. This typology is built around two dimensions. The first dimension relates to public intervention on the school-to-work transition in order to promote the access to employment for young people, through the education policy and the employment policy: this is the issue of youth economic citizenship. It can be encompassing, when a country is strongly macrocorporatist, or selective, when it is not, according to the distribution of skills among the youth population. The second dimension has to do with public aids from the state towards young people: this is the issue of youth social citizenship. It can be familialized in Bismarckian welfare states, where young people are seen as children, or it can be individualized in Beveridgian welfare states, where young people are deemed to be adults. Combining these two dimensions, we end up with four regimes of youth welfare citizenship: an enabling citizenship (inclusive/individualized), a monitored citizenship (inclusive/familialized), a second-class citizenship (selective/individualized), and a denied citizenship (selective/familialized). In the first empirical part, I classify 15 western European countries into the typology by building two synthetic indices of youth economic citizenship and youth social citizenship. Then, in the second empirical part, I proceed to four case studies, each representing a regime of the typology: Sweden, Germany, the United Kingdom, and France

Повний текст джерелаThe influence of the theme of activating "passive" social expenditure has been evidenced over the last few years and especially in Europe. This political discourse has filtered into the national systems and has spread to legislation, leading to new links between the logic of classic social protection (compensatory technique or social assistance claimants) and employment (employment law). These active policies are based on traditional socio-democratic nordic models and the anglo-american model. The European Union has adopted the activation concept and given it central place in its employment strategy and through the Open Method of Coordination for social protection. This strategy has had an impact on the national systems. This impact may be measured in Beveridgian systems as well as in Bismarckian systems, that shows the different aspects of activation depending on the Member States but with a more distinct difference depending on a more liberal or universalist approach. The recent transformations in the French system (unemployment insurance benefits or social assistance schemes) based on the conditionality of social protection, have led to significant changes to social protection which raises the issue of the underlying legal logic of these changes and a critical analysis of the extent of such a renewal of the social contract

Resumo: Esta dissertação tem o objetivo de analisar a natureza dos Estados de Bem-Estar Social, as diferenças existentes entre esses arranjos no caso da Europa Ocidental, bem como as causas e consequências mais gerais dessas diferenças. Os Estados de Bem-Estar Social devem ser entendidos como uma dentre as formas possíveis de sistemas de proteção social e que se caracteriza pelo fato de que o Estado assume um papel mais contundente no atendimento das necessidades individuais fundamentais relativamente às demais formas de provisão, como o mercado e a família. Esses arranjos se diferenciam em função do perfil das políticas públicas, em geral, e das políticas econômica e social, em particular, sendo determinados pelo processo de interação entre atores com distintos interesses e com diferentes capacidades de impor esses interesses sobre os demais em determinadas circunstâncias históricas e institucionais. Tendo-se em vista as características comuns às diferentes experiências nacionais, é possível identificar quatro modelos de Estado de Bem-Estar Social na Europa Ocidental, quais sejam, os modelos anglo-saxão, continental, escandinavo e mediterrâneo. Esses modelos apresentam diferentes graus de sofisticação, em função do comprometimento do Estado em assegurar a todos a possibilidade de contribuir e partilhar da riqueza social. Essas diferenças, por sua vez, refletem os interesses dos atores mais poderosos em cada modelo, os quais possuem uma determinada percepção a respeito das consequências prováveis da intervenção do Estado, ou, mais especificamente, sobre os seus benefícios e os seus custos. Nesse caso, arranjos mais sofisticados tendem a ser mais factíveis e resilientes em sociedades menos heterogêneas. De fato, uma vez que, nesses casos, os benefícios e custos desses arranjos se distribuem de forma menos assimétrica entre os diferentes grupos sociais, muitos deles possuem razões para considerá-los vantajosos, de modo que mudanças na estrutura de poder tendem a ocasionar, quando for o caso, ajustes apenas residuais em suas políticas. A análise de dados e indicadores selecionados realizada neste trabalho ratifica a existência de diferentes modelos de Estado de Bem-Estar Social na Europa Ocidental, o que se reflete nas condições de vida prevalecentes em cada um deles. Aqueles países cujas políticas públicas são caracterizadas por uma política social preventiva e, também por isso, produtiva, bem como por uma maior articulação com a política econômica, livre para atuar de acordo com as circunstâncias, estão mais preparados que os demais para assegurar os direitos de cidadania diante dos desafios impostos pelo capitalismo contemporâneo
Abstract: The aim of this master thesis is to analyze the nature of the welfare states, the differences that exist between these arrangements in the case of Western Europe, as well as the general causes and consequences of these differences. The welfare states should be understood as one of several possible forms of social protection systems and that is characterized by the fact that state assumes an important role in meeting individual fundamental needs compared to other forms of welfare provision, such as the market and the family. These arrangements differ according to the form of public policies, and, more specifically, of economic and social policies, which is determined by the process of interaction between actors with distinct interests and different capabilities to impose these interests over the others under certain historical and institutional circumstances. Considering the characteristics which are shared by different national experiences, it is possible to identify four welfare state models in Western Europe, namely, the Anglo-Saxon, the Continental, the Scandinavian and the Mediterranean models. These models have varied degrees of sophistication, which depends on the state commitment to assure every citizen the opportunity to contribute to and to share of social wealth. These differences, in turn, reflect the interests of the most powerful actors in each model, which have its own perceptions about the expected consequences of state intervention, or, in other words, about its benefits and costs. In this case, more sophisticated arrangements are more likely to be developed and to be maintained in less heterogeneous societies. In fact, once in such cases benefits and costs are less unevenly distributed among different social groups, the majority of them will have its own reasons to consider these arrangements advantageous, so that changes in the structure of power would only lead to residual changes in its policies. The analysis of selected data and indicators considered in this thesis confirms the existence of different welfare state models in Western Europe which is reflected in the prevailing living conditions in each of them. Those countries whose public policies are characterized by a preventive, and because of that, productive social policy, as well as by greater coordination with economic policy, which is free to act according to each circumstance, are better prepared than others to assure the rights of citizenship in face of the challenges posed by contemporary capitalism

This thesis looks at the success of radical right parties in Western Europe through the perspective of welfare politics, by examining parties and voters in a comparative and mixed method perspective. I argue that purely socio-cultural or socio-economic accounts of the radical right success face several theoretical and empirical shortcomings. Focusing on the conflict dimension of welfare politics - who gets what, when and how in terms of social benefits – constitutes a novel approach to explain these parties’ and voters’ political preferences. Relying on different theories of the political sociology of the welfare state, I put forward the protection and exclusion hypotheses, which have implications at the party and at the voter levels. On the demand side, the precarization sub-hypothesis expects that economically insecure voters are likely to support radical right parties who offer them an alternative to mainstream parties. The scapegoating sub-hypothesis expect that voters who feel that core normative beliefs of the moral economy of the welfare state are being violated by individuals or outgroups should support the radical right because it fosters an exclusive conception of welfare politics. On the supply side, the programmatic shift sub-hypothesis expects that radical right parties turn their back on their initial ‘winning formula’ (which entailed retrenchment of welfare institutions) in order to adopt protective welfare preferences that match their constituents’ economic insecurity. The exclusive solidarity sub-hypothesis expects that radical right parties frame their welfare preference in terms of group inclusion and exclusion. I find that economic insecurity and welfare specific attitudes (welfare populism, welfare chauvinism, welfare limitation and egalitarianism) underlie voters’ support for radical right parties. Conversely, some – but not all – West European radical right parties have adapted their welfare preferences towards protective welfare policies in order to match their constituents’ concerns. However, all radical right parties put forward an exclusive conception of solidarity. These findings contribute to a finer-grained understanding of the electoral of radical right parties in Western Europe, and also open a broader research agenda for the better inclusion of welfare politics in electoral studies.

European integration challenges the social boundaries of nation states and this phenomenon is not without consequences for individual attitudes. Within public debate, the impact of European integration on the welfare states has been extensively discussed, but we still lack conclusive analysis of the consequences for individual support for Europe. This thesis is an attempt to complement our knowledge on the logics of support for European integration. It investigates how individuals account for the economic and social consequences of integration and documents the logic underlying one the most salient issues in the present debate on Europe: redistribution. It investigates the individual and structural effects of redistribution on attitudes towards Europe, with a particular emphasis on how these effects develop across time and across different national contexts. Specifically, this study determines under what conditions European integration is perceived by citizens as a threat to national welfare regimes, and what are the consequences in terms of political allegiance. The causal mechanism is tested at three levels and over three different periods: at the European level (public opinion in Europe Twelve) and from 1986 to 2010, at the national level (public opinion in the Member states of Europe Fifteen), from 1996 to 2006, at the individual level, in 2009, in the twenty seven Member states of the European Union. Findings show that social protection has both structural and individual level effects on support for Europe, providing a narrative for changes in the level of support for Europe over time and explaining a large share of between-country differences, at the aggregate level. At the individual level, both welfare regimes and welfare issues have a strong impact on support for Europe. When it comes to social protection, the European Union works like a distant, yet strong, threat for individuals.

This thesis addresses the questions of why national governments choose the OMC and, especially, which factors explain the degree of development of its infrastructure (i.e. the presence of guidelines, indicators, benchmarks, National Action Plans, and peer review). The positive correlation between the development of the infrastructure of an OMC on an issue, and the saliency of this issue in the eyes of the public is taken as a starting point for answering these questions. It is claimed that national governments opt for an OMC with a highly developed infrastructure when they have an incentive to act on an issue on the European level, and at the same time fear a shift of competences because of the saliency of this issue. This conflict is reinforced when the particular issue forms part of the electoral profile of a political party in government and there is public support for more EU involvement with regard to this issue. The stronger the reluctance of member states to act on the European level, the more member states see a necessity to erect a barrier against a shift of competences, and the more the infrastructure of the OMC will be developed in order to prevent a shift to a less intergovernmental governance mode. In this way, the degree of development of the OMC is expected to be positively linked with the capacity of the OMC to function as a barrier against a shift of competences. For assessing these claims, four policy fields on which the Lisbon Council decided to adopt an OMC are selected: education, research and development, social inclusion, and the e-Europe initiative.

Повний текст джерелаHealth inequalities refer to the unjust and systematic differences in health that are related to differential access to material and social resources among individuals of different socioeconomic positions. Building upon the Theory of Fundamental Causes, health inequalities are understood as contextualised relations between resources and health. Socioeconomic position is therefore identified as the key component of a meta-mechanism that transforms differences in resources in health inequalities, by multiple pathways and mechanisms whose relevance is shaped by context. This dissertation is dedicated to the study of these contextual implications in health inequalities in later life in Europe. Two levels of analysis are highlighted in the theory and in the empirical research within this contextualised understanding of health inequality: a macro structural level and a micro interactive level. Within these two levels the contextual implications have only scarcely been explored in the current literature. This thesis addresses these limitations by studying the micro and macro contextual implications on health inequalities, and the interaction of these two levels of analysis. In this scope, welfare state regimes, at macro level, and social networks, at micro level, are identified as important dimensions in characterising health-relevant contextual features for the aged population. Two descriptive studies were developed to address the complexity of the association between socioeconomic position and health in these levels of analysis. In the first empirical study (Study 1) the associations between socioeconomic position indicators and health indicators were compared across countries and welfare state regimes. Then, the influences of close interactive contexts were analysed within a qualitative study concerned with the lay conceptions of health and their relation to the socioeconomic position (Study 2). Finally, a study was developed focusing the analysis on the role of social networks (micro) on health inequalities in different welfare state regimes (macro), integrating the critical discussions presented in the former studies (Study 3). This research relies on two sources that compile data from people aged 50 or above. The quantitative studies are based on data from the fourth wave of Survey of Health, Aging, and Retirement in Europe (SHARE), collected between 2010 and 2011; and the qualitative study on 28 semi-structured interviews collected in the period of between February and April of 2014. This dissertation demonstrates how the association between socioeconomic position and health is shaped by macro and micro societal contexts. It identifies the importance of these implications in the development of policies targeting health inequalities and offers new empirical clues to support the development of a recent analytical approach in health inequality research.
As desigualdades na saúde referem-se às diferenças injustas e sistemáticas saúde que estão relacionadas com o acesso diferencial a recursos materiais e sociais entre indivíduos de diferentes posições socioeconómicas. Com base na Teoria das Causas Fundamentais, as desigualdades na saúde são entendidas como relações contextualizadas entre recursos e saúde. A posição socioeconómica é, neste sentido, identificada como a peça-chave de uma metamecanismo que transforma as diferenças em recursos em desigualdades na saúde, por múltiplas vias e mecanismos cuja relevância é moldada pelo contexto. Esta dissertação é dedicada ao estudo das implicações contextuais nas desigualdades de saúde na população envelhecida na Europa. São identificados dois níveis de análise na teoria e na pesquisa empírica desenvolvida no âmbito desta abordagem contextualizada das desigualdades na saúde: um nível de análise macroestrutural, e um nível de análise micro interactivo. Em ambos os níveis de análise, as relações entre o contexto social e a desigualdade na saúde estão pouco esclarecidas na literatura. Esta tese aborda estas limitações, estudando o papel de contextos sociais de nível macro e de nível micro e interacção desses dois níveis de análise na desigualdade da saúde. Com este objectivo, dois conceitos são identificadas como dimensões particularmente importantes na caracterização características contextuais relevantes em termos de saúde para a população idosa: a nível macro, o regime de Estado Social, e a nível micro as redes sociais pessoais. Em primeiro lugar, foram desenvolvidos dois estudos descritivos para abordar a complexidade da associação entre posição socioeconómica e a saúde nos dois níveis de análise identificados. No primeiro estudo empírico as associações entre indicadores da posição socioeconómica e de saúde foram comparados entre países e entre regimes de Estado Social. Posteriormente, as influências do contexto interactivo foram consideradas num estudo qualitativo focado nas concepções leigas de saúde e sua relação com a posição socioeconómica. Na segunda fase da pesquisa, foi desenvolvido um estudo focado na análise do papel das redes sociais (micro) nas desigualdades na saúde em diferentes regimes de Estado Social (macro), integrando as discussões críticas apresentadas nos estudos anteriores. A pesquisa baseia-se em duas fontes que integram dados de pessoas com idade igual ou superior a 50 anos. Os estudos quantitativos são baseados em dados da quarta vaga do inquérito SHARE (Survey of Health, Aging, and Retirement in Europe), recolhida entre 2010 e 2011. O estudo qualitativo, por sua vez, baseia-se no conjunto de 28 entrevistas recolhidas entre Fevereiro e Abril de 2014. Esta dissertação demonstra como a associação entre a posição socioeconómica e a saúde é moldada pelo contexto social de nível macro e de nível micro. A abordagem identifica a importância destas implicações no desenvolvimento de políticas direccionadas para a desigualdade em saúde e oferece novas pistas empíricas para apoiar o desenvolvimento de uma recente abordagem analítica na investigação das desigualdades na saúde.

Повний текст джерелаThis dissertation analyses three major social policy reforms in Turkey in two policy domains: employment and social security. By adopting the Uses of Europe theoretical approach, it aims to analyze empirically and to explain theoretically the uses of Europe in two domains of social policy during the EU membership process in Turkey. Uses of Europe is an actor-centered approach to Europeanization that focuses on the role of national actors, in member and candidate states, and their use of EU resources. The case studies in this thesis involve welfare state changes. Thus the original approach is complemented by concepts from the welfare state literature on formal institutions, partisan politics and policy legacies. This research uses a process-tracing methodology to follow the reform of labor regulations via the restructuring of individual labor rights, restructuring of the Turkish employment agency up through 2003 and the transformation of the social security system by 2008. Both represent major institutional and policy changes in the post-2001 period in Turkey. In order to understand the uses Europe in these policy reforms, the empirical analysis asks whether, where, and how Turkish actors were using EU resources, references and policy developments within the dynamic processes of reform. The reforms of the social security system, labor regulation and the restructuring of the employment agency have been on the agenda in Turkey since the mid-1990’s. The reform of labor regulations involved the introduction of flexible work arrangements and job security legislation into a revised Labor Act. The restructuring of the employment agency aimed to replace the old institution that had become defunct with a modern institution oriented towards active labor market policies. The social security reform comprising pension, healthcare and administrative components aimed to ensure financial sustainability and increase the coverage of the system. The main findings were that the supply of EU resources in Turkey increased from the recognition of its candidate status in 1999 to the launch of accession negotiations in 2005. This supply offered opportunities for national actors involved in the reform processes, via legitimizing uses of Europe, obfuscation and credit claiming, among other practices. However in contrast to some of the expectations of the original Uses of Europe approach, the findings of this research demonstrate that the type and timing of uses of Europe depend on the national actors’ interests and coalition-building strategies in the reform process rather than on the stage of the reform process or amount of resources supplied by the European Union.
