Abstract

This article surveys welfare studies in Italy since the 1990's, focusing on the typological arguments stimulated by G. Esping-Andersen.<BR>First, in 1993, M. Ferrera's book proposed a unique framework of four types of welfare states, into which the characteristic of Italian welfare state was considered the strong clientelism. This taxonomy, however, has been metamorphosed into another set of four types in 1998, after studying the Tentative Model of the Southern European welfare state. Secondly, in 1994, C. Saraceno pointed to the “ambivalent familism” of the Italian welfare states. One of her students, M. Naldini, has recently published a comparative analysis on the family and welfare states in Italy and Spain, based on the “Mediterranean Kinship solidarity model”. Those studies, which are complementary with one another, can also be contextualized into the international accademic trends. Thirdly, P. Donati, one of the most authentic Catholic writers, has elaborated his welfare society model, inspired by the so-called “subsidiarity principle” of the social doctrine of the Catholic Church.<BR>Finally, an oft-quoted notion that the “stateness” is lacking for the Italian welfare regime is examined.
