The Reassertion of the Regulatory Welfare State: A Preface

Avishai Benish and David Levi-Faur

The ANNALS of the American Academy of Political and Social Science, 2020, vol. 691, issue 1, 7-16

Abstract: The preface presents the main themes of this special issue. It starts by presenting the argument that the welfare state and the regulatory state are not dichotomies, arguing that both regulation and fiscal transfers for social purposes are increasing, particularly after the financial crisis of 2007, the climate crisis, and the COVID-19 crisis. Then it moves to introduce the articles that compose this special issue, their arguments, and their theoretical and empirical contributions.
