“…Much debate and critique has followed relating to the applicability, type and number of regimes (e.g., Lewis, 1992;Bonoli, 1997;Arts and Gelissen, 2002). Limited research has addressed services (e.g., Anttonen and Sipilä, 1996). However, Jensen (2008) has proposed that welfare regimes might be conceptualised along two dimensions − transfers and services − and stressed the need for a better understanding of different sectors, in particular education (cf., Bambra, 2005).…”

“…There is, moreover, a disjuncture between social policy and education policy in some countries. Whilst in Scandinavia (Anttonen and Sipilä, 1996) and the UK, education policy can be seen as part of 'social policy', in Germany it is separated, with education taking place in 'a universe quite distant from social policy' (Allmendinger and Leibfried, 2003: 63).…”

Education is crucially important for later outcomes but has received limited attention in comparative research on welfare states. In light of this, we present an exploratory analysis of education systems across fourteen EU countries and the US. This builds on existing work on educational institutions, educational outcomes and welfare regimes. We focus on institutional features associated with inequality of educational opportunity, including academic selection, tracking and public/private provision; on educational outcomes; and on education expenditure. Our quantitative analysis identifies four clusters of countries: the Nordic, Continental, Mediterranean and English-speaking, which bear similarities to those identified in the welfare states literature. Each 'education regime' is associated with particular institutional features, educational outcomes and levels of public expenditure. Our analysis suggests that further comparative research on education, viewed as a key component of the welfare state, is warranted.

Extensions that are relevant for our research come from Alber (1995), Anttonen and Sipilä (1996), Ranci (2002) as well as Salamon and Anheier (1998). They draw attention to social care services and discuss the provider mix within these care systems.…”

This paper explores cross-country variations in charitable giving and investigates the association of welfare state policies with private philanthropy. Hypotheses are drawn from crowding-out theory and considerations about the influence of a country's mixed economy of welfare. We add to the on-going discussion concerning the crowding-out hypothesis with empirical evidence by looking at specific charitable subsectors people donate to across countries. Using Eurobarometer survey data that include 23 countries, we find no evidence for a crowding-out effect, but rather a crosswise crowding-in effect of private donations. Moreover, giving behaviour differs between non-profit regimes.Résumé Cet article explore les écarts qui existent, d'un pays à l'autre, entre les dons de charité et enquête sur l'association des politiques d'É tat relatives à l'assistance sociale à la philanthropie privée. Les hypothèses reposent sur la théorie d'éviction et des considérations portant sur l'influence d'une économie mixte d'un pays en matière d'assistance sociale. À la discussion courante sur l'hypothèse d'éviction, nous avons intégré des évidences empiriques en examinant des soussecteurs de bienfaisance précis auxquels les populations de divers pays contribuent.

“…Fx er det i diskussionen om relationen mellem velfaerdsstaten og familien blevet gaengs at skelne mellem forskellige idealtypiske familiepolitiske modeller såsom den socialdemokratiske, den konservative, og den liberale model (fx Antonnen & Sippilä 1996, Sippilä 1997, Esping-Andersen 1999, Kvist 1999, Sø-rensen 2000. Forenklet kan man sige, at disse tre vigtige europaeiske familiepolitiske modeller vaegter tre aspekter af socialpolitiske ordninger forskelligt, nemlig generøsiteten af børnefamilie-ydelser samt universaliteten og kvaliteten af børnepasning.…”

Ideal types and fuzzy sets -Exemplified by Nordic family policy in the 1990s Fuzzy-set theory is a new method for the social sciences. It allows for a precise operationalisation of theoretical concepts, the configuration of concepts into analytical constructs such as idealtypes, and the categorisation of cases. In a Weberian sense ideal types are analytical constructs used as yardsticks to measure the similarity and difference between concrete phenomena. Ideal type analysis involves differentiation of categories and degrees of membership of such categories. In social science jargon, this means analysis involving the evaluation of qualitative and quantitative differences or, in brief, of diversity. Fuzzy set theory is useful for ideal type analysis as it combines the study of qualitative and quantitative differentiation in a single instrument. It allows the measurement and computation of theoretical concepts and analytical constructs in a manner that is true to their original formulation and meaning. This paper sets out elements and principles of fuzzy-set theory that are useful for ideal type analysis and presents an illustrative example of how it can be used in comparative studies. The example concerns changing Nordic family policies in the 1990s in relation to their conformity to the ideal typical Social Democratic family policy model characterised by generous family allowances coupled with universal child care of a high quality. All Nordic countries expanded the universality of childcare, but its quality remained only fairly good, when measured by number of children, staff, which was 4.7 in 1993 in Denmark. Generosity was increased in Denmark, but reduced in Sweden and Finland. As a result of numerous changes, the most traditional country, Norway, got more in line with the other Nordic countries and Sweden lost its role as the examplar country of Social Democratic family policy. However, none of the countries experienced a qualitative shift in family policy towards a Conservative or Liberal model of family policy. The analysis demonstrates how fuzzy-set theory allows for fine-grained assesments, and is particularly well-suited to the analysis of diversity for a medium number of cases.
