''The Three Worlds of Welfare Capitalism'' is a book on political theory written by Danish sociologist Gøsta Esping-Andersen, published in 1990. The work is Esping-Andersen's most influential and highly cited work, outlining three main types of welfare states, in which modern developed capitalist nations cluster. The work occupies seminal status in the comparative analysis of the welfare states of Western Europe and other advanced capitalist economies.〔Scruggs, Lyle A., and James P. Allan. "Social stratification and welfare regimes for the twenty-first Century: Revisiting the three worlds of welfare capitalism." World Politics 60, no. 04 (2008): 642-664.〕 The work called into question well-established ways of thinking about differences among welfare states in advanced capitalist democracies.〔Ragin, Charles. "A qualitative comparative analysis of pension systems." The comparative political economy of the welfare state (1994): 320-45.〕 At the time of writing this book, Gsta Esping-Andersen was Professor at the European University Institute, Florence. ==Typology of welfare capitalism== In ''The Three Worlds of Welfare Capitalism'', Esping-Andersen outlines a typology of welfare capitalism in an attempt to classify contemporary Western welfare states as belonging to one of three "worlds of welfare capitalism."〔Svallfors, Stefan. "Worlds of welfare and attitudes to redistribution: A comparison of eight western nations." European Sociological Review 13, no. 3 (1997): 283-304.〕 The three types are characterised by a specific labour market regime and also by a specific post‐industrial employment trajectory.〔Kloosterman, Robert C. "Three Worlds of Welfare Capitalism? The welfare state and the post‐industrial trajectory in the Netherlands after 1980." West European Politics 17, no. 4 (1994): 166-189.〕 The three types are named: *Liberal *Conservative *Social Democratic Since its publication the typology has been widely used in academic research and theory,〔Bambra, Clare. "Going beyond The three worlds of welfare capitalism: regime theory and public health research." Journal of epidemiology and community health 61, no. 12 (2007): 1098-1102.〕 and has generated much debate on the subject of the nature of the welfare state.〔Bambra, Clare. "The worlds of welfare: illusory and gender blind?." Social Policy and Society 3, no. 03 (2004): 201-211.〕 The desirability of the work's approach has been stated by various comparative welfare state scholars.〔Allan, James P., and Lyle Scruggs. "Political partisanship and welfare state reform in advanced industrial societies." American Journal of Political Science 48, no. 3 (2004): 496-512.〕 In the book Esping-Andersen criticized earlier theoretical models of the welfare state as "inadequate", arguing that their analysis relied too heavily upon the misleading comparison of aggregate welfare state expenditure,〔Bambra, Clare. "Worlds of welfare and the health care discrepancy." Social Policy and Society 4, no. 01 (2005): 31-41.〕 and also argued that public expenditure should no longer be a measure of comparison and that we should seek to replace it with other measures.〔Castles, Francis G. "Is expenditure enough? On the nature of the dependent variable in comparative public policy analysis." Journal of Commonwealth & Comparative Politics 32, no. 3 (1994): 349-363.〕 in the place of expenditure, Esping-Andersen built his typology on a rich database of detailed programme characteristics.〔Castles, Francis G. "Developing new measures of welfare state change and reform." European Journal of Political Research 41, no. 5 (2002): 613-641.〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「The Three Worlds of Welfare Capitalism」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
