Abstract
Esta nota de investigación examina comparativamente el cambio institucional reciente de los Estados del bienestar en los países del Sur de Europa. La irrupción de la crisis económica y financiera en 2008 dispuso un nuevo escenario para la reforma del bienestar. Los sistemas de protección social se enfrentaron a una coyuntura de transformación bajo condiciones de elevada presión política y económica. La respuesta a la crisis se asoció a la austeridad en el gasto público y al rediseño institucional de las provisiones de bienestar, con el objetivo de recuperar la estabilidad fiscal, la solvencia del sector público y la competitividad exterior. El efecto de las políticas de austeridad ha sido la aparición de senderos de transformación institucional diferenciados dentro del modelo de bienestar Mediterráneo.
The focus of this research note is to assess comparatively recent institutional change in Southern European welfare states. The outbreak of the financial and economic crisis in 2008 triggered a new scenario for welfare reform. Social protection systems were forthwith brought to a major transformation juncture under high political and economic strain. The political response to the crisis brought about austerity in public expenditure and harsh institutional reshaping of welfare provisions in order to regain fiscal consolidation, solvency of the public sector and external competitiveness. The outcome of austerity measures has been an increasing differentiation in the pace and process of institutional reform within the Mediterranean welfare model.
