Project description The aim of this proposed research project is to improve our understanding of the ongoing process of reform of existing welfare state institutions. The basic question I will explore is why some countries have reformed their social policies and institutional structures - for instance by fully funding their pension systems - while others have either tried and failed to carry out similar reforms, or chosen not to attempt any reforms at all. As a first step, I plan to characterize and categorize some of the most important reforms that have taken place during the past three of four decades. As a second step, I hope to be able to use this categorization to develop formal models that shed light on the causal mechanisms underlying the reforms. A key point here is that rather than focusing simply on the development of welfare states, or the appropriateness of different possible reforms, the basic questions here will regard why and when we see the structures and policies of today being reformed. I plan focus most of the actual work on reforms of European institutions, but I will build on my dissertation research on the United States, and use the US as a baseline or reference case. With this approach I hope to deepen the comparisons between the US and European nations that I initiate in the first part of my dissertation. I will also build on the work on local American politics that forms the basis of my third dissertation chapter. Underlying the questions aimed at here is a broader interest in the way governments (national and local) adapt to changes in their environment. Some governments appear to be better than others at responding and adapting to changes in fundamental economic conditions. However, why this is the case remains, in my view, poorly understood. There has been some compelling work done with qualitative methodological approaches, in particular by political scientists such as Paul Pierson and Jacob Hacker, but I believe their work could be fruitfully compl
