Toward a global Welfare State

In the light of the attack on national welfare states, the idea of a global social policy or, even more radically, the development of a global welfare state, began to be articulated in the mid-1990s by scholars such as Bob Deacon and his associates. Deacon suggested that the classical functions of national welfare states, the three Rs of redistribution, regulation and rights, in terms of provision and empowerment, were already now operating at levels above those of the nation-state and that, in the future, a truly global social policy would be needed to counter the inequities and miseries caused by the hegemony of the global (neoliberal) economic orthodoxy. A fairer world, in other words, requires that the struggle for justice, equality, and solidarity is no longer only, or primarily, within states but, rather, between states and across the entire world.
