Abstract

HANSEN F. and JENSEN-BUTLER C. (1996) Economic crisis and the regional and local economic effects of the welfare state: the case of Denmark, Reg. Studies 30, 167-187. The paper presents an analysis of the regional and local economic role of the Danish welfare state during a prolonged period of economic crisis. The role of the welfare state in redistributing income between localities and regions is examined, this being related to changing relations of power and responsibility between state and local government levels. The analysis is presented within a theoretical context where different models of the welfare state are examined and related to the distributional questions. Finally, the future of the Scandinavian type of welfare state in Europe is discussed, together with the implications of future changes for geographical redistribution of income. HANSEN F. et JENSEN-BUTLER C. (1996) Crise economique et l'impact economique regional et local de l'Etat-Providence: cas d'etude du Danemark, Reg. Studies 30, 167-187. Cet article analyse le role economique regional et local de l'Etat-Providence au Danemark pendant une periode de crise economique prolongee. Le role de l'Etat-Providence, charge de la redistribution du revenu entre les quartiers et les regions, se voit examiner, cela se rapportant a la repartition du pouvoir et des competences entre l'Etat et les collectivites. L'analyse se fait a partir d'un contexte theorique ou on examine des modeles differents de l'Etat-Providence et les associe a des questions de redistribution. Pour conclure, on discute de l'avenir du genre d'Etat-Providence scandinave en Europe, conjointement avec les consequences des changements futurs pour ce qui est de la redistribution geographique du revenu.

Dieser Aufsatz stellt eine Analyse der regionalen und ortlichen wirtschaftlichen Rolle des danischen Wohlfahrtsstaats wahrend einer lang anhaltenden Periode wirtschaftlicher Krise dar. Es wird die Rolle des Wohlfahrtsstaats bei der Einkommensumverteilung zwischen Ortschaften und Regionen untersucht und zu dem Wandel in den Beziehungen von Macht und Verantwortlichkeit zwischen staatlicher und Ortsverwaltung in Beziehung gesetzt. Die Analyse wird im Zusammenhang einer theoretischen Untersuchung verschiedener Modelle des Wohlfahrtsstaates vorgetragen, und mit Verteilungsfragen in Beziehung gesetzt. Abschliessend wird die Zukunft des skandinavischen Typs des Wohlfahrtsstaats in Europa diskutiert, sowie die Implikationen zukunftigen Wandels fur die geographische Umverteilung von Einkommen.
