This volume addresses a critical gap in comparative welfare state scholarship: the ways in which growing diversity - ethno-racial, religious, and immigration-related - shapes public policy, poverty, and inequality. At a time when identity politics and immigration pressures are challenging the social fabric of advanced economies, Waglé's book brings empirical clarity and theoretical precision to a central policy question. Drawing on longitudinal data from 17 high-income countries (Australia, Austria, Belgium, Canada, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Netherlands, Norway, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, United Kingdom, United States) between 1980 and 2010, Waglé constructs an analytical framework that integrates multidimensional concepts of ethnic heterogeneity with models of welfare state policy and socioeconomic outcomes. He revisits existing welfare state typologies and provides an empirical assessment of how different configurations of diversity correlate with policy choices, public attitudes, and redistribution. His approach interrogates assumptions about social solidarity and diversity and introduces a refined methodology for measuring heterogeneity across national contexts. The book proceeds through a structured conceptual and empirical progression. Early chapters define and operationalize ethnic heterogeneity - capturing intersections with race, religion, and immigration - and trace its evolution across countries. Later chapters present models linking heterogeneity to welfare state development, poverty, and inequality. These analyses engage both economic and political dimensions, showing that the effects of diversity are mediated by factors including policy design, trust, and the inclusion of minority groups. A core contribution is the separation of "improved labor conditions" from "worker empowerment," with the argument that technocratic reforms may raise living standards without advancing long-term representation. This insight underscores the relevance of participatory governance for equitable welfare outcomes. For scholars in political science, sociology, public policy, and international development, the book offers a theoretical and methodological contribution to the study of welfare states in diverse societies. It is particularly relevant to researchers working on immigration, ethnic politics, inequality, and policy design. Policymakers and practitioners will also benefit from the book's data analysis and comparative insights, which inform strategies for building cohesive and inclusive welfare regimes. Ultimately, The Heterogeneity Link of the Welfare State and Redistribution is a resource for understanding how demographic change is transforming the politics and economics of redistribution in the 21st century.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Conceptualization and measurement of poverty have traditionally relied on purely economic approaches, with income or consumption as the only indicator. Multidimensional approaches have increasingly been used to understand poverty, but have yet to be fully operationalized. This book uses factor analysis and structural equations modelling to develop a multidimensional framework that integrates capability and social inclusion as additional poverty indicators. The empirical relevance of this methodological contribution is demonstrated through its application in the United States and Nepal.The proposed approach not only helps to identify different categories of the poor, but also to more accurately target resources and policies of poverty alleviation. The book will therefore be an important reference for professionals in development agencies as well as for poverty and policy researchers.…

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - This book situates ethnic heterogeneity in the larger discussion of the welfare state and its redistributive outcomes, poverty and inequality. By using comprehensive, longitudinal data covering 1980 to 2010 from 17 high income countries, this analysis helps achieve a major milestone in comparative welfare state research both conceptually and methodologically. Conceptually, it elevates the relevance of growing ethnic heterogeneity in thinking about how politics and economics of the welfare state operate, collectively impacting the magnitudes of poverty and inequality. Methodologically, the analysis conducted in this book provides broader empirical tests for the many propositions and discourses found in the literature based largely on anecdotal evidence, case studies, and unjustifiably limited quantitative data. The innovative oeprationalization of the multidimensional character of both welfare state policies and ethnic heterogeneity help broaden the analytical frameworks of comparative welfare state research.The outcome is a major advance in the way we understand the causes and redistributive consequences of the welfare state, in which ethno-racial, religious, and especially immigration heterogeneity can play a crucial role. A thorough and insightful analysis presented in this book helps students, researchers, and policymakers better understand the ethnic heterogeneity connections of the welfare state and redistribution, together with a comparative perspective of the changing faces of ethnic heterogeneity, welfare state policies, and poverty and inequality in high income countries.…
