Abstract

ABSTRACT Welfare theories, models, and programs vary in historical development and country. In the 21st century, socio-economic and economic changes significantly impact the welfare state and its social development and role. The aim of the paper is to identify the main focuses of welfare state research in the 21st century based on scientific articles. For this purpose, the tasks were set to implement bibliometric research, textual analysis, and systemic structuring results. The methodology covers bibliometric/authors co-occurrence analysis and automated content analysis, as well as general analysis and synthesis methods. Considering the dynamics and number of publications, the respective emphases of welfare state research are presented in three periods. First, bibliographic pairing analysis revealed clusters comprising conceptual nodes based on the keywords. After regrouping according to the close similarity enlarged 5 clusters presented in the paper are as follows: (1) welfare, (2) political issues, (3) service and care, (4) countries, and (5) women. The study will enable scientists and the interested public to gain an insight into current thematic and future research trends of the welfare state. Some interesting intersections for further research are suggested.

福利国家的理论十字路口:21世纪研究分析

福利理论、模式和方案因历史发展和国家而异。在21世纪，社会经济和经济变化对福利国家及其社会发展和作用产生了重大影响。本文的目的是在科学论文的基础上确定21世纪福利国家研究的主要焦点。为此目的，任务被设置为实现文献计量学研究、文本分析和系统结构化结果。方法论包括文献计量学/作者共现分析和自动内容分析，以及一般分析和综合方法。考虑到出版物的动态和数量，福利国家研究的重点分为三个阶段。首先，文献配对分析揭示了基于关键词的概念节点组成的聚类。根据相近度重新分组后，本文提出的5个集群如下:(1)福利，(2)政治问题，(3)服务和护理，(4)国家，(5)妇女。这项研究将使科学家和感兴趣的公众能够深入了解福利国家的当前主题和未来研究趋势。提出了一些值得进一步研究的有趣交叉点。

期刊介绍： International Review of Sociology is the oldest journal in the field of sociology, founded in 1893 by Ren Worms. Now the property of Rome University, its direction has been entrusted to the Faculty of Statistics. This choice is a deliberate one and falls into line with the traditional orientation of the journal as well as of the Institut International de Sociologie. The latter was the world"s first international academic organisation of sociology which started as an association of contributors to International Review of Sociology. Entrusting the journal to the Faculty of Statistics reinforces the view that sociology is not conceived apart from economics, history, demography, anthropology and social psychology.
