Citations in the corpus
- A Conceptual Framework for the Comparative Analysis of Policy Change: Measurement, Explanation and Strategies of Policy Dismantling (2014, background): “Such an approach might entail severe validity problems under certain circumstances because changes in effects can actually occur without previous changes in policy outputs, and vice versa (Green-Pedersen 2004; Starke 2006; Knill et al. 2012).”
- Effects of message framing, vividness congruency and statistical framing on responses to charity advertising (2010, background): “However, due to fiscal constraints many countries have undergone welfare retrenchment from the 1980s and onwards (Clayton & Pontusson 1998; Starke 2006) which greatly reduced the weight of government initiatives.”
- The electoral consequences of welfare state retrenchment: Blame avoidance or credit claiming in the era of permanent austerity? (2011, background): “(Pierson 1996: 177–178) The current period of ‘permanent austerity’ (Pierson 1998) necessitates cutbacks in social policy, and a large literature traces the conditions under which retrenchment of the welfare state will occur (see Starke 2006; Korpi 2003).”
- Convergence towards where: in what ways, if any, are welfare states becoming more similar? (2008, background): “As a result of external problem pressure, authors inclined to the ‘new politics’ approach expect neither radical change nor convergence, but rather incremental, path-dependent reform shaped by domestic political and institutional forces (see Starke 2006).”
- Governments and unpopular social policy reform: Biting the bullet or steering clear? (2009, background): “no surprise that many studies try to explain the occurrence of reform (for reviews and overviews, see Green-Pedersen & Haverland 2002; Huber & Stephens 2001; Myles & Quadagno 2002; Scharpf & Schmidt 2000; Starke 2006; Van Kersbergen 2002).”
