"Die Osterweiterung der Europäischen Union bietet nicht zuletzt auch Herausforderungen für die westeuropäischen Wohlfahrtsstaaten, die in der Literatur häufig als Bedrohung analysiert werden. Die vorliegende Studie untersucht die Entwicklung der Sozialversicherungssysteme in acht postsozialistischen Staaten, die 2004 in die Europäische Union aufgenommen wurden, Estland, Lettland, Litauen, Polen, Slowakei, Slowenien, Ungarn und die tschechische Republik (EU-8). Wir untersuchen sowohl institutionelle Designs und Performance als auch den Einfluss externer und interner Akteure auf die wohlfahrtsstaatliche Entwicklung in diesen Ländern. Wie unterscheiden sie sich von westeuropäischen Wohlfahrtsstaaten und wie passen sie in gängige Typologien von Wohlfahrtsstaat-Regimen?" (Autorenreferat)... view less

How do the EU-8 diverge from West European welfare states and how do they fit into the typology of welfare state regimes?" (author's abstract)... view less
