Abstract:
|
This paper investigates citizen support for welfare compensation, where such compensation can be provided at both the national and the EU levels. The guiding question is whether provision of welfare compensation at one level dampens, increases, or has little effect on support for compensation at the other. Literature on European social policy-making offers reasons to expect any or all three such patterns. The paper hypothesizes that citizens treat the national and EU levels of welfare as imperfect substitutes, such that provision at one level under particular conditions dampens support at another. The paper tests this and rival expectations by analyzing aggregate and individual-level data on support for national and EU-level compensation. The analysis suggests that citizens do treat national and EU levels as imperfect substitutes, but only in one direction: more generous national welfare tends to diminish support for EU-level welfare effort, and tends also to diminish how much economic insecurities spur such support; but the currently meager EU-level structural funds and other transfers have either no or positive effects for support for national welfare compensation. Such analysis clarifies possibilities and dilemmas of welfare compensation to address economic risks where governance is meaningfully multi-level in character. |
