Elgar Research Agendas outline the future of research in a given area. Leading scholars are given the space to explore their subject in provocative ways, and map out the potential directions of travel. They are relevant but also visionary.
汇集来自不同ge of international scholars, A Research Agenda for Public Attitudes to Welfare draws upon past and contemporary research methods used to study citizens’ attitudes to welfare. It highlights the rapidly growing research potential within the field, examining both new and understudied social policies to map out a comprehensive agenda for future research.
This essential Research Agenda offers crucial suggestions to broaden the scope of research in the field and expand our knowledge of public attitudes to welfare. Chapters examine support for new social welfare policies such as active labour market policies, Universal Basic Income, and Social Europe, as well as investigating support among understudied subgroups in the population and over the life course. It ultimately emphasizes the importance of applying different analytical and methodological perspectives in order to understand public attitudes to welfare more thoroughly.
Employing a diverse range of data and methods, this informative Research Agenda will benefit scholars of sociology, social policy, political science, and economics seeking to gain insight on public attitudes to welfare and welfare states. It will also be useful to social policy professionals and officials endeavouring to reflect on the progress of research within the field.

Critical Acclaim
‘Welfare states change their approach, focus and instruments in response to newly emerging challenges. Therefore, the study of welfare attitudes must constantly innovate to keep us informed about the social legitimacy of the new pathways welfare is taking. This book convincingly presents an innovative agenda for such study. Its empirical chapters exemplify the research lines set out by it, thereby showing the agenda’s highly promising appeal as a guide for future research on public attitudes to welfare.’

‘This timely overview of the field points to the wealth of new data-sources and new methods in welfare state attitude research. It makes the case for new applications to consider a broader range of policies and issues, for the expansion of theoretical and explanatory work and identification of the attitudinal triggers which contribute to attitude change and perhaps to a more generous welfare state politics.’
