This book examines the complex relations between democracy and social policy. Economic development is a necessary but not sufficient condition for welfare development. In advanced industrial democracies, variations in welfare provision are explained by differences in the reach and organization of unions, presence of Left parties in government, and social pacts that reconcile the conflicting interests of unions, employers and the state. Social security provision is limited in democracies with low levels of industrialization, even though some countries with a social democratic orientation seem to have done well. In such low-income democracies, traditions of political rights, improvements in electoral competitiveness, and a pro-active judiciary may empower social movements to pressure governments to introduce progressive social reforms. Social policies can aid democratic transitions that are highly polarized, those that involve both political and market liberalization, and those that occur in deeply divided multiethnic societies. They improve the security of citizens, contribute to social solidarity, encourage disadvantaged groups to have faith in the democratic regime, and delegitimize violent alternatives.
