Description
The article discusses the impact that multiculturalism policies (MCPs) have on the contemporary European welfare state. Although the empirical data shows there is no positive correlation between the adoption of MCPs and an increase in social spending, there has been a noted increase in public concerns about the decline of the welfare state system due to their adoption and increased immigration. Rather than dismissing those concerns, the authors use them as a starting point in their discussion on the changes of the concept of social solidarity in the age of globalisation.

      • Prispevek obravnava vpliv multikulturnih politik na evropsko državo blaginje. Empirični podatki kažejo, da pozitivne korelacije med implementacijo multikulturnih politik in povečanimi izdatki za socialne transferje ni zaznati, vendar se kljub temu v širši javnosti priseljevanje in implementacija multikulturnih politik pogosto označujeta kot grožnja obstoječi državi blaginje. Avtorici ne zavrneta a priori pomislekov, ki jih imajo državljani evropskih držav blaginje proti priseljevanju, temveč na njih gradita debato o spremembah koncepta socialne solidarnosti v dobi globalizacije.
