Abstract

There are basically three stories about the globalization– welfare state nexus. The first story argues that globalization is the cause of the chronic crisis of the welfare state. The second maintains that whatever the cause of the welfare state crisis, globalization is not part of it. The third story holds that globalization, far from causing the welfare state’s troubles, is a consequence of these troubles and part of their solution. The paper reviews each of these stories and traces their intellectual origins.
