Reestructuración de los Estados del Bienestar: cambios cuantitativos y cualitativos: el caso de España = Restructuring of Welfare States: quantitative and qualitative changes: the case of Spain

Abstract

This paper examines a possible paradigm shift from protective welfare states to investment welfare states, using Spain as a case study. Methodologically, a historical-institutionalist approach to paradigm change was adopted, and three dimensions of analysis were studied: problems to be solved, objectives to be achieved and policies to be used. The main findings indicated there has been a quantitative change in Spain that recommodifies living conditions, and a qualitative reorientation is underway that individualizes risks and social protection
