- Abstract
- Conventional narratives of the Republican Party's relationship to the welfare state emphasize the themes of retrenchment and devolution. My research reveals, on the contrary, the viability of an alternative explanation: that the Republican Party has fostered proposals incorporating market mechanisms in both the orientation and delivery of social policy. By evaluating changes in four major policy arenas during the last four decades (welfare, housing, health, and pensions) I demonstrate that a distinct new welfare state is emerging. Institutional party competition is the key variable in explaining both why this new welfare state is rising while defining the scope of markets in social policy.
