Government quality, egalitarianism, and attitudes to taxes and social spending: a European comparison (2012, background): “Differences and similarities among countries show interpretable patterns, but they are too complex to be summarized as ‘worlds of welfare attitudes’ (Svallfors, 1997, 2003; Andress and Heien, 2001; Arts and Gelissen, 2001; Mau, 2003; Larsen, 2006; Brooks and Manza, 2007).”
Migration and welfare state solidarity in Western Europe (2009, background): “All these variables have been found relevant in studies on general attitudes towards the welfare state before (e.g. Svallfors and Taylor-Gooby, 1999; Mau, 2003a).”
Welfare Regimes and the Norms of Social Exchange (2004, background): “5 In the background to this perspective stands a growing literature emphasising the vital role of reciprocity within the welfare state (e.g. Bowles and Gintis, 2000; Falk, 2001; Mau, 2003; Ullrich, 2002; Wax, 2000; White, 1997).”
The moral economy of inequality: popular views on income differentiation, poverty and wealth (2012, background): “…disparities are not based on rational considerations alone, but are embedded in a wider ‘moral economy’, i.e. an implicit, collectively shared understanding of what constitutes a fair and desirable distribution of societal benefits and burdens (Kelley and Evans, 1993; Mau, 2003; Svallfors, 2006).”
Making and Breaking Social Capital (2005, background): “…problem by discerning a more “political” explanatory perspective, a perspective that after several years of mainly theorizing (see Pierson 1993; Ingram and Schnieder 1997; Rothstein 1998) has recently inspired a number of empirical studies (see Soss 1999; Mettler 2003; Mau 2003: Kumlin 2002, 2004).”
Popular Explanations of Poverty: A Critical Discussion of Empirical Research (2009, background): “Also in Europe, many studies have shown that the social legitimacy of welfare benefit schemes is closely related to the degree to which the members of a scheme’s target group are seen as being personally responsible for their neediness (for example, Forma, 1997; Blekesaune and Quadagno, 2003; Mau, 2”
Culture and Welfare State Policies: Reflections on a Complex Interrelation (2004, background): “The notion of what is ‘just’ in relation to the way redistribution in tax and social security systems takes place, however, still differs substantially cross-nationally (Lund, 2002; Mau, 2004; O’Connor, 2000).”
Age-Based Self-Interest, Intergenerational Solidarity and the Welfare State: A Comparative Analysis of Older People’s Attitudes Towards Public Childcare in 12 OECD Countries (2010, unknown): “In this context, material self-interest is not negated, but moral norms and preferences for social justice are considered to be more important (Gelissen 2000; Mau 2004).”
A Bedrock of Support? Trends in Welfare State Attitudes in Sweden, 1981–2010 (2011, result): “This picture of basic stability in welfare state attitudes is replicated elsewhere, and also with comparative data (see for example Roller 1992; Jenssen and Martinussen 1994; Evans 1998; Andress et al. 2001; Mau 2003; Arriba et al. 2006; Larsen 2006; summary in Svallfors 2010).”
