PALGRAVE STUDIES IN THE HISTORY OF EXPERIENCE ...

This open access book presents a new approach to the history of welfare state. By applying the
concepts of experiencing society and the lived welfare state  the collection introduces
theoretical  methodological and empirical insights for bridging the everyday life and
institutional structures. The chapters analyze how the welfare state as a particular
individual-society relationship has become an integral part of living in the modern society.
With a long-term perspective  the chapters explore the experience of society which enabled the
building and the resilience of a welfare state. As the welfare state is not a universal model
of social development but historically unique in different contexts  the book broadens the
focus from the Nordic countries to Southern Europe  colonial Asia and post-colonial South
America. This collection is essential reading for scholars and students in the social sciences
and history  as well as for policymakers and practitioners who face the contemporary and future
challenges of the welfare states.
