1 RedistributionParadoxes:thePoliticsofWelfare WorkshopOrganizers MónicaBritoVieira,InstitutodeCiênciasSociais,UniversityofLisbon PedroRamosPinto,SchoolofArts,HistoriesandCultures,UniversityofManchester Abstract(250WordsMax) The consecration of social rights created a duty on the part of the state to take appropriate steps towards making possible their realization. The model of the democraticwelfarestatewasdevelopedtorealizetheserightsandfulfillmoregeneral goalsofeconomicsolidarity,socialcohesion,andegalitarianism.however,itssuccess in achieving these self proposed goals has varied greatly across countries. What part doinstitutionalfactorsplayinexplainingthemaintenanceofoldandtheemergenceof newinequalitieswithinestablishedwelfarestates? This workshop will analyze how and why institutions that were designed to reduce inequality met with such varying degrees of success, with particular attention to the politics of welfare systems and their consequences over time. Three themes are of particular concern. First, the interaction between overarching norms, regulation and outcomes how do constitutional, regulatory and operative definitions of equality affecttheoutcomesofredistributiveefforts?second,howdodifferentpoliticalactors within and without the state seek to condition, reform, appropriate and colonize welfare systems, and what are the consequences of this for its capacity to tackle inequality?finally,thisworkshopwillconsiderwhetherwelfaresystemswillbeableto adapttonewsocio economicconditionswhilebeingableto preserveorrenewtheir legitimacy and address the goals of social justice they set themselves? We welcome proposals from theoretical, quantitative and qualitative perspectives, and are particularly interested in approaches that address the interaction between path dependencyandchange. 1
2 WorkshopDescription Cross countrycomparisonsofinequalityhavelinkedittoavarietyofsocialproblems, including reduced life spans, incidence of disease, reduced levels of educational achievementandthedeclineofsocialtrust(wilkinsonandpickett2009).butlittlehas been done in the way of clarifying the institutional mechanisms through which inequalities are created and reproduced. Yet longitudinal analyses have revealed the varying success of some welfare regimes in reducing inequality over time, or how other states, previously successful on that account, have seen the gap between rich and poor begin growing once more (e.g. Gottschalk et al 1997; Caminada and Goudswaard 2001; Hills 2004). Why are some welfare states more successful than others in reducing levels of inequality through social policies? As Esping Andersen argued, a large part of the answer may be found in the design, development and operation of inequality concerned institutions (Esping Andersen 1990). What is the impact of social policy design and different distributive mechanisms(e.g. targeted or universal, equal to all or earnings, income and behaviour related, etc) upon the reduction of inequalities? To what extent does the capture of the welfare state by specialinterestgroupsreduceitsredistributivecapacity,andbywhichmeansdothey createandpreservetheirprivilegedposition? According to Charles Tilly, most inequality is created by the twin processes of exploitation and opportunity hoarding, which are embodied in complex networks of norms, rules, identities and systems (Tilly 1999). This workshop will investigate one particularaspectoftheseprocesses:theroleofinequality concernedinstitutionsand politicalconflictsovertheminstructuringsocio economicinequality.bringingtogether scholarsfromavarietyofdisciplines,itwillaskhowthepoliticsbehindthedesignand developmentofinequality concernedinstitutionsinfluencesocialstratificationandthe distributionofresourcesinthepopulationstheycover. The organizers invite contributions that relate to three inter related themes: (a) the role of abstract principles in shaping inequality concerned institutions; (b) political contention over inequality concerned institutions and its consequences for income distribution; and (c) future perspectives for inequality concerned institutions. These themesarefurtherdevelopedbelow. Gamesoverrules A key, if neglected, aspect of debates of the practical politics of inequality is the interactionbetweenformalrightsandtheirsubstantiveenjoyment.forinstance,does theconstitutionalizationofsocialrightsmatterforthereductionofinequality,andifso 2

From a different perspective, some authors have argued that constitutionalization provides discursive and symbolic resources for new political claimsthatcanbeusedtoinfluencethedistributionofrightsandresources(e.g.hunt 2007). Others have pointed to the potentially disrupting effects of the contrast between formally enshrined rights and their actual enjoyment by citizens, which can createspacesof insurgent,butalso dangerous,citizenship,thuscontributingtothe creationofnewpoliticaldynamicsandinstitutionalchange(holston2008).

Participants&Papers This workshop aims to approach the topic from an interdisciplinary perspective. We invite contributions, both qualitative and quantitative, from the relevant social sciences, including, but not limited to, political science, sociology, economics, and history. Both comparative and individual case studies will be accepted and we particularly welcome proposals that address the tension between institutional continuities and change by taking a longitudinal perspective.
