“…The description of the five 'families' that follows is a synthetic blend of several representations and discussions (Ferrera, 1996;Anttonen and Sipilä, 1996;Arts and Gelissen, 2002;Bambra, 2005;Kazepov, 2008;Jenson, 2012;Schieck, 2013). 9 The main taxonomic parameters retained here are the extent of public support, the proportion between cash benefits and in-kind services, the universalistic vs. contributory blend, the providers mix (state, market, community, family), the ideology about women and their position in the labour market, and the type of industrial relations.…”

“…the role of, and the relations among, different scales of government, notably, between the central state and the local administrations. On this aspect too, there is a rich debate (see Bennett, 1993;Goldsmith, 1996;Kazepov, 2008;Rauch, 2008). As I shall stress in the next section the 'vertical' division of authority among different levels of the state -central, meso-and local -in what concerns the regulation, the funding, the planning and the provision of social services, as well as the degree and tradition of local governments' autonomy, significantly affects both the features and the impacts of the restructuring of social services.…”

“…the relative contribution of the four main parties involved in the production of social services: the state, the family, the market (for-profit providers), and the community or third sector (non-profit organisations), which constitute the so-called 'providers diamond' (Jenson, 2015). The re-shuffling of responsibilities among these providers also goes under the name of 'horizontal subsidiarity' (Kazepov, 2008;, 'welfare pluralism' (Abrahamson, 1995) or 'new welfare governance ' (Klenk and Pavolini, 2015), and has been labelled 're-mix' in the chapter by Leibetseder et al (in this volume).…”

RESUMENLa Unión Europea ha trascendido muchas de las viejas prerrogativas de la independencia nacional westfaliana, incorporando la relevante función de la interdependencia entre sus Estados miembros. En el interior de estos últimos hay comunidades subestatales que reclaman simultáneamente más autogobierno y más Europa. El objetivo último de tales procesos políticos en el Viejo Continente es hacer congruente y consistente la subsidiariedad territorial con la autonomía política en el marco de la legislación e instituciones europeas. La primera parte de este artículo se concentra en la idea de una unión cada vez más estrecha en Europa basada en la implementación de la subsidiariedad territorial, junto con la rendición de cuentas democrática de una gobernanza multinivel, cuyo fin último es preservar el Modelo Social Europeo. La segunda parte ilustra algunos de estos desafíos con un análisis del significado de independencia que se ha desarrollado en una nación sin estado como Cataluña. En el conjunto de España, la ausencia de acomodo territorial, junto a una larga dicotomía centro-periferia de largo recorrido, han dado paso en los últimos tiempos a estrategias secesionistas del nacionalismo catalán. Se pondera en la última sección del texto cómo el desarrollo de un localismo cosmopolita puede optimizar en el contexto global la independencia e interdependencia de naciones sin estado como Cataluña.Palabras clave: Cataluña, Europeización, independencia, gobernanza multinivel, localismo cosmopolita, subsidiariedad. ABSTRACT. Europeanisation and in(ter)dependence of CataloniaThe European Union has transcended many of the old prerogatives of national independence bringing about the very function of interdependence among member states. Within the latter there are also sub-state communities claiming simultaneously both selfgovernment and «more Europe». The future intent of this political process in the Old Continent is to make territorial subsidiarity consistent with home rule within European framework legislation and continental institutions. The first part of this article focuses on the idea of a closer European Union based upon the implementation of territorial subsidiarity, as well as on the challenges posed by democratic accountability, multi-level governance and the preservation of the European Social Model (ESM). The second section illustrates some of these challenges in practice through an analysis of how the meaning of independence has developed in a «stateless nation» such as Catalonia. In Spain, the lack of territorial accommodation, together with a long-standing centre-periphery controversy, has fuelled claims for secession by some Catalan nationalists. The conclusions ponder on how «cosmopolitan localism» can optimize both independence and interdependence of stateless nations like Catalonia in the global context.

“…Although moves towards embedding these organisations in the welfare state on the basis that they can offer innovative, more cost-effective and client-responsive approaches are not new (Ascoli and Ranci 2002;Bode 2006;Henriksen et al 2011), a changing financial climate has offered further incentives to do so. At the same time, sub-national arenas, cities and local municipalities have become increasingly important for public policy regulation and social service delivery (Kazepov 2008(Kazepov , 2010. The complex set of problems that many central governments face are seen as best handled at local level, by local politicians and including the enrolment of various types of local stakeholders (Andreotti et al 2012).…”

Welfare Mix as a Contested Terrain: Political Positions on Government–Non-profit Relations at National and Local Levels in a Social Democratic Welfare State

As welfare states are increasingly challenged and replaced by welfare mix models, new ideas about the functions of non-profit and voluntary organisations (NPVOs) provoke political conflicts that should be reflected in research. This paper explores the significance of political and ideological dimensions to present changes in the Swedish welfare state regarding NPVOs as welfare services providers. Investigating both national and local level, the study addresses political as well as practical implications of the reframing of NPVOs as service providers rather than being associated with a voice function. The article shows extensive differences between national and local levels as contentious ideological cleavages at national level are dormant in local level politics. Variations in the way relations to NPVOs are structured in practice at local level appear related to factors other than political dimensions. The findings support the development of an analytical framework that reflects political dimensions and allow for empirical focus that includes national and local level politics and practices. Resumen Dado que los estados de bienestar están siendo cada vez más cuestionados y sustituidos por modelos mixtos de bienestar, las nuevas ideas sobre las funciones de las organizaciones voluntarias y sin ánimo de lucro (NPVO, del inglés Non-profit and voluntary organisation) provocan conflictos políticos que deben ser reflejados en la investigación. El presente documento explora la importancia de las dimensiones políticas e ideológicas para presentar los cambios en el estado de bienestar sueco en relación con las NPVO como proveedoras de servicios de bienestar. Al investigar tanto el nivel nacional como el local, el estudio aborda las implicaciones políticas, así como también las prácticas, de la reformulación de las 1602Voluntas (2015 ) 26:1601 -1619 123 NPVO como proveedoras de servicios en lugar de asociarlas a una función de voz. El artículo muestra las grandes diferencias entre los niveles local y nacional, ya que las divisiones ideológicas polémicas a nivel nacional están latentes en la política a nivel local. Las variaciones en la forma en la que están estructuradas las relaciones con las NPVO en la práctica a nivel local aparecen relacionadas con los factores aparte de las dimensiones políticas. Los hallazgos apoyan el desarrollo de un marco analítico que refleje las dimensiones políticas y permita un foco de atención empírico que incluya la política y las prácticas a nivel nacional y local.
