Infos

Research into the politics of family policy has expanded considerably in recent years. However, the family policy agenda of the Mainstream Right - i.e., Christian democratic and conservative parties - has largely been overlooked, at least until now. Establishing a unique contribution that closes this gap, Giovanni Amerigo Giuliani provides a thorough, comparative, and longitudinal analysis of the Mainstream Right's family policy agendas in 4 Western European countries.Anchored in a new theoretical framework that combines the insights of a variety of sociological and political science approaches, this study offers an understanding of the changes in the Mainstream Right s family policy preferences and their drivers over time and across countries. How have family policy agendas been configured in the post-Fordist age? Have they re-adapted over time or have they remained unchanged? What drivers have affected the Mainstream Right s family policy agendas in the post-industrial era? Furthermore, how can the various configurations of these drivers explain cross-country similarities and differences? Under what conditions have Mainstream Right parties gone beyond a purely familistic agenda? Delving into a topic that has scarcely been investigated in comparative welfare and family policy literature, this is an indispensable endeavour for scholars in these fields.
