Citations in the corpus

• Nordic welfare states in the European context (2001, background): “In fact, social care services provide an area of analysis where talk of retrenchment is greatly exaggerated, and where challenges do not seem to lean towards dismantlement but to investments and improvement (see Castles 2001, Kautto 2001b, Kvist 2001).”
• Welfare-State Regress in Western Europe: Politics, Institutions, Globalization, and Europeanization (2003, background): “Also Castles (2001) considers unemployment as a contextual variable in the retrenchment process.”
• Gender and welfare state change1 (2002, background): “However, in terms of the amount of actual change that has taken place, a number of comparative projects using public expenditure data have failed to produce evidence of the ‘race to the bottom’ that has been predicted (Stephens et al. 1999; Castles 2000; Huber and Stephens 2001).”
• Explaining convergence of OECD welfare states: a conditional approach (2011, background): “Starting in the late 1990s, there have been a few studies testing for beta-convergence (Alonso et al., 1998; Alsasua et al., 2007; Attia and Berenger, 2007; Caminada et al., 2010; Castles, 2001; Kittel and Obinger, 2003; Sanz and Velázquez, 2006; Starke et al., 2008; Wolf, 2002).”
• Convergence towards where: in what ways, if any, are welfare states becoming more similar? (2008, background): “Besides convergence, these econometric studies provide evidence that social spending dynamics are influenced by the business cycle and differences in population ageing and unemployment (Castles 2001; Huber and Stephens 2001; Kittel and Obinger 2003).”
• Investing in services in West European welfare states (2002, background): “…rather convincingly stressed resilience rather than retrenchment in terms of total public and social spending (see e.g. Pierson, 1994; 2001; Ferrera and Rhodes, 2000; Castles, 2001), Clayton and Pontusson (1998: 82) have suggested that the service components of the welfare state have been squeezed.”
