State and Citizenship in the Age of Globalisation

  • Conference paper

Part of the book series: Studies in Economic Ethics and Philosophy ((SEEP))

Abstract

Back in the years of major Social Democratic influence in northern Europe there circulated a theory of the welfare state proposing a geographical explanation of its spread and variations: the factor determining the generosity of social benefits in any given country was proximity to Stockholm. Already Copenhagen and Oslo were departures from the alembicated purity of the Swedish welfare state. By the time one got to London or Bonn and then further afield to Paris, Rome and Madrid matters were distinctly less well organised. Washington and Ottawa, not to mention Tokyo, were scarcely within the pale of what could properly be considered a welfare state, with Sydney and Wellington slightly anomalous cases that should have been located, by this standard, perhaps somewhere near the Azores.
