- Summary:
-
"The Political Sociology of the Welfare State offers a comparative analysis of the political attitudes, values, aspirations, and identities of citizens in advanced industrial societies. It focuses on the different ways in which social policies and national politics affect people's opinions on justice, political responsibility, and the overall trustworthiness of politicians. How have socio-political orientations changed in recent years? How do national institutions impact people's attitudes and values? Is there a correlation between orientations and changing social stratification patterns? How are attitudes translated into action under different institutional arrangements? What impact do new supranational institutions have on the orientations of mass publics?"--BOOK JACKET.
