This paper uses innovative democratic forums carried out in Germany, Norway, and the United Kingdom to examine people's ideas about welfare-state priorities and future prospects. We use a moral economy framework in the context of regime differences and the move towards neo-liberalism across Europe. Broadly speaking, attitudes reflect regime differences, with distinctive emphasis on reciprocity and the value of work in Germany, inclusion and equality in Norway, and individual responsibility and the work-ethic in the UK. Neo-liberal market-centred ideas appear to have made little headway in regard to popular attitudes, except in the already liberal-leaning UK. There is also a striking assumption by UK participants that welfare is threatened externally by immigrants who take jobs from established workers and internally by the work-shy who undermine the work-ethic. A key role of the welfare state is repressive rather than enabling: to protect against threats to well-being rather than provide

Social assistance as a field of research: Challenges and opportunities Trond Erlien SAMMENDRAGArtikkelen diskuterer forskning på sosialhjelpsordninger de siste tiår. I et komparativt perspektiv er sosialhjelpen kjennetegnet ved større variasjon enn andre sosialpolitiske ordninger. Dette gjør sosialhjelpen til et utfordrende objekt for komparativ forskning. Artikkelen peker på to problemer i forskningen når det kommer til å forstå de siste tiårs reformer. (1) Sosialhjelpen har gjennomgått endringer som følge av den såkalte aktiveringslinjen i sosialpolitikken. Samtidig har sosialhjelpen blitt utsatt for endringer av organisatorisk art, som følge av nye styringsideal og et generelt effektivitetspress i offentlig sektor. Dette betyr at sosial-og styringspolitiske motiv veves sammen på nye måter og artikkelen argumenterer for at få bidrag tar høyde for dette. (2) Aktiveringslinjen har utvilsomt satt sine spor i sosialhjelpen. Samtidig er aktivering et politisk moteord som kan brukes for å gi sosialhjelpen en ny retorisk innpakning, mens den som institusjon er blitt endret i mindre grad. Artikkelen peker på, at mens forskningen på sosialpolitikk generelt viser større interesse for politisk språkbruk, er dette en mangelvare i studier av sosialhjelpen ABSTRACT This article examines research on social policy reform and in particular, social assistance schemes; and points to specific problems: (1) Programs of social assistance have undergone dramatic change in recent years, particularly as a consequence of activation policies. At the same time, administrative reforms have changed the face of social assistance, in terms of how the policies are implemented and organized. Consequently, policy reforms and administrative reforms have become entangled in new ways, making it harder to distinguish how and why institutions are changing: something few researchers have noted and analyzed. (2) While there is no doubt that activation policies have changed some schemes, activation is at the same time a political buzzword used to reframe politics, possibly leaving the institutions intact. While there has been a general increase in contributions analyzing social policy concepts and language, social assistance as a field of research is suffering from the lack of such contributions.
