Federalism and the Welfare State
In this unique and provocative contribution to the literatures of
political science and social policy, ten leading experts question
the prevailing view that federalism always inhibits the growth
of social solidarity. parative study of the evolution of
political institutions and welfare states in the six oldest federal
states – Australia, Austria, Canada, Germany, Switzerland and
the USA – reveals that federalism can facilitate as well as impede
social policy development. Development is contingent on sev-
eral time dependent factors, including the degree of democra-
tization, the type of federalism, and the stage of welfare state
development and early distribution of social policy responsibil-
ity. The reciprocal nature of the federalism–social policy relation-
ship is also made evident: the authors identify a set of important
bypass structures within federal systems that have resulted from
welfare state growth. In an era of retrenchment and unravelling
unitary states, this study suggests that federalism may actually
protect the welfare state, and welfare states may enhance national
integration.
