Descrição

In this text I try to account for the South European countries welfare regimes main features in reference to the Nordic countries. I use the typology of Esping-Andersen (1990; 1999) on welfare regimes as a point of departure to discuss the particularities of the Southern European model, as well as Salamon and Anheier (1998) identification of third sector regimes. This means to imply that there is a connection between the type of welfare and the main characteristics of the third sector and its role in it.
