Abstract

Welfare chauvinism is largely understood as the view that the benefits of the welfare state should primarily be given to the native population, and not shared with the immigrant populations. Using a multilevel approach, we analyse welfare chauvinism in Europe and test to see how different contextual and macro-economic conditions may influence welfare chauvinistic attitudes in Europe, with a particular focus on different nuances of unemployment. We also test how individuals’ subjective perceptions of the economic development in their society may influence welfare chauvinism in Europe. The analysis finds that welfare chauvinistic attitudes have increased in strength in Central-Eastern European welfare states, whereas the most exclusionary form of welfare chauvinism is near non-existent in the Nordic welfare regimes. We further find that it is the subjective perceptions of the macro-economic conditions and the strength of far-right populism, rather than the actual objective reality of a society’s economic situation that drives welfare chauvinistic attitudes in Europe.
观念与现实:解读欧洲的福利沙文主义
福利沙文主义在很大程度上被理解为一种观点,即福利国家的福利应该主要给予本土人口,而不是与移民人口分享。使用多层次的方法,我们分析了欧洲的福利沙文主义,并测试了不同的背景和宏观经济条件如何影响欧洲的福利沙文主义态度,特别关注失业的不同细微差别。我们还测试了个人对社会经济发展的主观看法如何影响欧洲的福利沙文主义。分析发现,中东欧福利国家的福利沙文主义态度越来越强烈,而北欧福利制度中几乎不存在最排外的福利沙文主义。我们进一步发现,推动欧洲福利沙文主义态度的是对宏观经济状况和极右翼民粹主义力量的主观看法,而不是社会经济状况的实际客观现实。

期刊介绍: The Journal of European Social Policy publishes articles on all aspects of social policy in Europe. Papers should make a contribution to understanding and knowledge in the field, and we particularly welcome scholarly papers which integrate innovative theoretical insights and rigorous empirical analysis, as well as those which use or develop new methodological approaches. The Journal is interdisciplinary in scope and both social policy and Europe are conceptualized broadly. Articles may address multi-level policy making in the European Union and elsewhere; provide cross-national comparative studies; and include comparisons with areas outside Europe.
