Immigration and the Ligitimacy of the Scandinavian Welfare State: Some Preliminary Danish Findings
2006Co-Authors: Jørgen Goul AndersenAbstract:Immigration and the legitimacy of the welfare state It is frequently claimed that immigration may put the legitimacy of the welfare states under pressure (Soroka, Banting & Johnston 2003). The typical argument is that Cultural Homogeneity is a precondition of the solidarity that is the essence of the welfare state (Miller 1995: 90-99; Brochmann 2003). As the Scandinavian welfare states are based on residence/citizenship rather than contributions as the main criterion of social rights, they could appear particularly vulnerable (Forsander 2004).

Immigration and the Legitimacy of the Scandinavian Welfare State.
2004Co-Authors: Jørgen Goul AndersenAbstract:Cultural Homogeneity is often listed among the preconditions of the highly developed welfare state in Scandinavia. This includes not only a sense of Cultural community but also shared norms such as a strong Scandinavian work ethic. Will multiCulturalism and the strong association between ethnicity and labour market marginalisation undermine the legitimacy of the Scandinavian welfare state as we knew it?

mapping diversities and tracing trends of Cultural Homogeneity heterogeneity in cyberspace
Journal of Computer-Mediated Communication, 2007Co-Authors: Elad Segev, Niv Ahituv, Karine BarzilainahonAbstract:Many Internet global commercial services were originally initiated in the United Statesand later exported to other countries, continents, and cultures. By analyzing contentand form characteristics of two leading portal sites—MSN and Yahoo!—on 33 and 23(respectively) of their local country homepages in a comparative and longitudinal studyover a period of six months, this study addresses two research questions: What differ-ences, if any, are found among homepages of the same parent site located in differentcultures (or targeted at audiences in different cultures)? What trends, if any, do thosedifferences show over time? Although MSN is a U.S. brand, the analysis of its home-pages reveals increasing Cultural heterogeneity and localization of content and form. Incontrast, Yahoo!’s homepages are found to be more similar to each other and to the‘‘parent’’ American portal. A metric was developed to measure the distance between var-ious websites in terms of form and content, along with a structured procedure to analyzeand cluster groups of websites. The results suggest that the diversity of local homepagesin MSN and Yahoo! follows the geographic and ethnographic scatter of their countries.doi:10.1111/j.1083-6101.2007.00373.x
