The welfare state in the wake of globalization

The case of Norway

Rolv Lyngstad

Bodoe University College, N-8049 Bodoe, Norway, rolv.lyngstad{at}hibo.no

English

The article starts with a discussion of recent developments in the Norwegian welfare state. It focuses on the welfare promises of the present centre-left majority government and asks if an ambitious welfare-state policy is possible in an international climate of globalization and a market-oriented economy. It is decisive that social work educators and the profession addresses these questions if the core values of the welfare state are to prevail.

French

Cet article s'appuie sur les récents développements du système de sécurité publique de la Norvège et examine les promesses du présent gouvernement majoritaire de centre-gauche en matière de sécurité sociale, tout en s'interrogeant sur la viabilité d'une ambitieuse politique d'état-providence dans le contexte de la mondialisation et d'une économie centrée sur les marchés à l'échelle internationale. Il est impératif que les enseignants en travail social et que la profession tout entière s'interrogent à savoir si les valeurs de base de l'état-providence subsisteront.
