“…However, Riches ([8], p. 7) observes, "reduced access to food is a growing phenomenon in affluent First World countries." While research on food insecurity in affluent nations has predominately used a case study approach [9][10][11][12], a better statistical understanding of the drivers of food availability and access among affluent countries is necessary [3,[13][14][15][16][17]. Currently few studies examine the cross-national patterns in the international political economy that shape the distribution of food both within and between nations (except see, for example, [18,19]).…”

“…Militarization, measured by military expenditure, has been shown to be related to increases in food insecurity in developing nations [30,34] as well as in the world as a whole [31]. Measures of the equality of women are associated with increases in the levels of food security [3,16,17], while population pressures are related to reductions in the availability of food and increases in hunger in developing nations. [14,34].…”

Few studies examine the distribution of food insecurity in advanced capitalist nations. This research investigates cross-national food insecurity in the world’s largest economies by estimating the impact of welfare spending and income inequality on food availability (measured by the FAO’s Dietary Energy and Protein Supply indicators) and food accessibility (measured by the Food Insecurity Experience Scale) in 36 Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) countries between the years of 2000 and 2018. Using a series of regression models on panel and cross-sectional data this research found that increases in state spending on social and health care are associated with (1) increases in food availability and (2) increases in food access. However, the findings also suggest that increases in food supplies do not produce more food security. Thus, for the OECD countries in this analysis, food availability is unrelated to food accessibility. We conclude by suggesting that high income countries that seek to promote global health should not only focus their efforts on poverty reduction polices that increase food accessibility within their own boarders, but must simultaneously ensure a more equitable global distribution of food.

“…This is particularly true of young and emerging nation states, which, intending to strengthen their national identity, view the economy and security as inseparable (Cohen, 2020). Such nation states adopt the theories of affluent capitalist countries in building their social security systems, often importing program designs from other countries (Bhandari & Burroway, 2018). Consequently, such states tend to reflect a mixture of convergence and divergence social security development.…”

Understanding the development of social security systems constitutes the ultimate goal of social security research. This review traces and compares two schools of thought regarding social security development: the convergence and divergence schools. Using a thematic approach, this article first categorizes extant studies into one of these two schools and then identifies the broadly accepted mechanism of social security development by comparing them. After reviewing the extant research and its theoretical underpinnings, this article applies Mill’s methods of agreement and difference to show how the Chinese case contributes to and challenges our understanding of social security development. By discussing the assumptions of current research on social security development in light of the Chinese case, this article illuminates how political legitimacy serves as a common mechanism of social security development regardless of political context or structure.

“…The further studies in the 1970s were directed towards highlighting the advantages of social security in affluent democracies, in particular Swedish, French and Swiss healthcare systems, which proved that centralization and insulation of central executive power authorities from excessive parliamentary control is an important condition for success (Immergut, 1992). In the 21 st century, the research has continued with a focus on the problems and their solutions under conditions of globalization, identification of advantages in separate countries, and implementation of promising models taking into account the positive experience of other countries (Bhandari & Burroway, 2018;Beloshitzkaya, 2020;Lupenko et al, 2022). The peculiarities of the social protection system development in Ukraine were outlined in the works by Gitis & Lysenko (2020) and Shapovalova (2022).…”

The article studies basic principles in the functioning of national social protection systems, including the problems and their causes, offers an analysis of their pragmatic applications over the period from 2015 to 2020 and performs a comparison of the calculated euro-denominated social expenditure per person and total social expenditure indicators for Ukraine and several European countries selected to represent the four regions of the EU. Based on the results of performed analysis, it was found that the level of social protection development in Ukraine is lagging far behind all the EU countries, including the least performing ones. Taking into consideration the European experience and Ukraine’s countryspecific features, the authors provide substantiation for the main components of the national social protection model. The developed model includes the current and strategic directions of its development, the interactions between its elements, and the financial resources. The model also takes into account the impact of the factors of external environment, as well as Ukraine’s orientation towards proEuropean development objectives.
