Abstract

the authors review how social theory focus on the welfare state. First, the attempts to formulate a normative basis for the welfare state are emphasized. Then, they take an inventory of the most re p resentative hypothesis that try to explain the dimensions and nature of the welfare state. The conclusion is that, in spite of the enormous pro g ress in comparative re s e a rch, no results allow to secure the superiority of one theory over the others. The authors recommend re s e a rchers to focus more in the relations between diff e rent factors rather than to demonstrate the superiority of one of them.
