Abstract

The twenty-first century has seen the emergence of new political cleavages, highly relevant for the study of welfare capitalism. Building on recent work in party politics and political behaviour, this Panel aims to contribute to ongoing debates about welfare populism, welfare chauvinism, and the ‘Brahmin’ left. We welcome Papers that analyse how these phenomena are shaping welfare politics, as well as Papers seeking to advance institutionalist scholarship by examining how such political forces are themselves shaped by contemporary trends in welfare capitalism (e.g. social investment, financialization, and dualization).
