The Politics of Welfare State Retrenchment: A Literature Review (2006, background): “Another body of literature argues that distinct welfare regimes are prone to exhibit particular inherent (economic) problems and trade-offs, especially with regard to the link between welfare and employment (Esping-Andersen 1999; Scharpf 2000; Scharpf/Schmidt 2000).”
The Self-Transformation of the European Social Model(s)* (2002, background): “The main difficulties confronting the Scandinavian model derive from high capital mobility, the fiscal and budgetary constraints imposed by ageing and European monetary integration, and increased political tax resistance (Hemerijck and Schludi, 2000; Scharpf, 2001).”
Convergence towards where: in what ways, if any, are welfare states becoming more similar? (2008, background): “…OECD democracies, analysed over the period between 1980 and the early 2000s.2 The reason why our analysis starts in 1980 is influenced not only by data availability, but also by the fact that the ‘Golden Age’ of welfare capitalism is widely seen to have peaked at or around that time (Scharpf 2000).”
A long goodbye to Bismarck? The politics of welfare reform in Continental Europe (2008, unknown): “Framed by mounting economic problems, deep changes in the international political economy (Scharpf 2000) and EU accession in 1995, the Grand Coalition bid farewell to Austro-Keynesianism and adopted a moderate supply-side-oriented course in economic policy.”
