Hi sir. I would like to know little more about Anglo-sax socialpolitik. Could you please explaine how it works When it comes to a family who just imigrated, What does the state does for somebody like that ?? Thanks!
Depends on the country. The US, the UK, and Canada have quite different approaches between the three countries and depending on how the migrant entered the country. There are, for example, differences in how a labour force migrant and a refugee settles....
Esping-Andersen's own classic book, but also some classic readers and commentaries on his book. Can't remember the exact bibliography now, it's been a while...
It is Esping-Andersen's terminology, which is used to bring attention to how important past decisions have been for how the state has been organized. A regime becomes institutionalized when it has been in effect for such a long time that it becomes easier to just keep it than to change it (this is the essence of path dependency theory, really). The effect of this is that even if a government that is opposing the standard way of doing things becomes elected, it is hard for it to do sweeping reforms. Not only might it lose a lot of votes, but it's likely to meet resistance on many levels - civil society, within the public administration and so on. Which is why even British Tories at least in rhetoric say that they will not tamper too much with the National Health Service...

Hi, can I ask you what book you used to get this information?

what exactly do you meant by historical legacy of regime institutionalisation?

The welfare state is superior to help people.
It really depends on what one means by "helping people". See the videos on my research...
