Etant données les restrictions auxquelles sont soumis les voyages internationaux, cette séance aura lieu exclusivement en ligne.

Discutante : Samira Guennif (CEPN, Université Paris Nord)

Résumé : This presentation provides an overview of the impacts of the two world wars on welfare state development. First, it sheds light on several possible causal mechanisms through which military interests and warfare might have shaped the development of western welfare states. Relevant factors are military concerns about the quantity and quality of the population, tremendous social needs generated by the horrors of war and war-induced political transformations. Next, I will present empirical findings for 18 western countries to highlight how mass warfare has shaped (i) the timing of welfare legislation, (ii) social spending, (iii) welfare state patterns and (iv) the establishment of a welfare bureaucracy.
