18 ronald inglehart 1971 the silent revolution in europe intergenerational change in post Industrial Societies american political science review 65 december 991 1017 cited 282 times
American Political Science Review, 2006Co-Authors: Ronald InglehartAbstract:”The Silent Revolution in Europe” was the first presentation of the intergenerational value change hypothesis. It argued that the publics of postIndustrial Societies are shifting from giving top priority to “Materialist” goals such as economic and physical security to placing increasingly strong emphasis on self-expression and the quality of life. Throughout history, survival has been insecure for most people, forcing them to give top priority to survival needs. But in advanced Industrial Societies, the economic miracles of the postwar era and the emergence of the welfare state gave rise to conditions under which much of the postwar generation grew up taking survival for granted; they give increasingly high priority to “Postmaterialist” values such as belonging, self-expression, and free choice. Because people's basic values do not change overnight, those who experienced the insecurity of World War I, the Great Depression, and World War II would continue to emphasize Materialist values, but we would expect to find an intergenerational shift toward Postmaterialist values.

Institutional Arrangements and Stratification Processes of Industrial Societies
Annual Review of Sociology, 1995Co-Authors: Alan C KerckhoffAbstract:This chapter reviews the current state of our knowledge about the role of institutional arrangements in stratification processes in Industrial Societies. The particular institutional arrangements considered are those of educational and labor force organizations. The review is organized around the Blau-Duncan basic model of status attainment and points to the need for a more elaborated conceptualization. Institutional arrangements structure the connections be- tween social origin and educational attainment, between educational attain- ment and early labor force placements, and between early and later placements in the labor force. Industrial Societies vary widely in the nature of these institutional arrangements, and that variation affects the patterns of movement from origins to destinations in the stratification system. Features of educational institutions considered include separation of students into specialized schools and ability groups (tracking), degree of central control, degree of autonomy, degree of stratification, and the number and specialized nature of credentials. Features of labor force institutions considered include occupational and firm- specific job classifications, internal labor markets and vacancy chains, indus- trial sectors and career lines. Critical aspects of the societal variation are the form of the interface between education and labor force structures and the nature of the transition from school to work. A preliminary set of hypotheses linking institutional arrangements and stratification processes is derived from this review.

political partisanship and welfare state reform in advanced Industrial Societies
American Journal of Political Science, 2004Co-Authors: James P Allan, Lyle ScruggsAbstract:In this article we evaluate two claims made in recent studies of the welfare states of advanced Industrial Societies: first, that welfare states have remained quite resilient in the face of demands for retrenchment; and second, that partisan politics have ceased to play a decisive role in their evolution. Addressing the first claim, we present analysis from a new data set on unemployment insurance and sickness benefit replacement rates for 18 countries for the years 1975‐99. We find considerably more evidence of welfare retrenchment during the last two decades than do recent cross-national studies. Second, we examine the “end of partisanship” claim by estimating the effects of government partisanship on changes in income replacement rates in sickness and unemployment programs. Our results suggest that, contrary to claims that partisanship has little impact on welfare state commitments, traditional partisanship continues to have a considerable effect on welfare state entitlements in the era of retrenchment.

hilary orange ed reanimating Industrial spaces conducting memory work in post Industrial Societies walnut creek ca left coast press 2015
Laboratorium: Russian Review of Social Research, 2016Co-Authors: Alena PfoserAbstract:The edited volume Reanimating Industrial Spaces: Conducting Memory Work in Post-Industrial Societies , which developed out of two panels at conferences of the Theoretical Archaeology Group and the European Association of Archaeologists, examines the varied afterlives of Industrial sites after the abandonment of active production. DeIndustrialization has radically transformed places and their communities and led to economic degeneration, material decay, and unemployment, with 22 million jobs lost between 1969 and 1976 in the United States alone.

the welfare state and education a comparison of social and educational policy in advanced Industrial Societies
2002Co-Authors: Gunther M Hega, Karl G HokenmaierAbstract:In their work on the development of welfare states in Europe and America, authors like Peter Flora and Arnold Heidenheimer (1981), Hugh Heclo (1985), and Francis Castles (1989) argued that there exits a trade-off between government investment in public education versus spending for social policy. We explore this "trade-off" thesis and the relationship between public education and social programs for 18 democratic Industrial nations since the 1960s, with a special consideration of the German case. Our results indicate a strong association between educational policies and social programs in these nations and we find evidence of a “trade-off.” More specifically, the types of welfare states Esping-Andersen (1990) describes - liberal, conservative, and social democratic - are correlated with particular profiles for educational policy. Certain types of welfare regimes exhibit a tendency to choose between educational opportunities or social insurance programs as alternative policy strategies.

social security vs educational opportunity in advanced Industrial Societies is there a trade off
American Journal of Political Science, 1998Co-Authors: Karl G HokenmaierAbstract:This research investigates whether specific types of welfare states have different effects on social policy outcomes, to see if variations in national welfare systems are related to the particular institutionalization of the welfare state. It builds on the work of Esping-Andersen (1990), who identified three kinds of welfare regimes in advanced Industrial Societies, and the effort of Francis Castles (1989) to identify the causes for variation in educational spending by Western Societies. Specifically, Castles's model to explain educational spending was modified to examine the applicability of EspingAndersen's welfare state typology to the field of educational policy. The three welfare state types were then tested to determine if variation in educational spending could be associated with the particular constitution of the welfare state. Finally, it was explored if, as Heidenheimer (1981) has suggested, there is evidence of a trade-off between education and other social security policies as alternative welfare state strategies. Esping-Andersen (1990) has identified three distinctive welfare regimes in advanced Industrial Societies-liberal, conservative, and social democratic. His typology arranges Western welfare states into three clusters, "each organized around its own discrete logic of organization, stratification, and societal integration" (Esping-Andersen 1990, 3). They differ by their unique social policy agendas and coverage for healthcare, unemployment, and old age compensation benefits. Although education was not among the policy provisions included in Esping-Andersen's description of the social welfare package, it should be. Education policy is clearly one component of a nation's total public policy package; and it is not independent of other social policies. It is the position of this paper that there is a specific relationship between the types of social security programs found in Western Societies and the kind of educational policies they support. Therefore, EspingAndersen's typology can also be applied to the field of education policy, and welfare regimes will then also cluster according to their educational policy
