The principal objective is branching out this two-part concept through studies of tensions and solidarity within and between generations of advanced and robust welfare states. Answering key questions using multiple disciplinary approaches, the book considers how generations challenge advanced and robust welfare states; how new and young generations are affected by living in an advanced welfare state with older generations; how tensions or solidarity are understood when facing challenges; and what the key characteristics are of certain generation types. It contributes to the development of a more comprehensive generation approach within social sciences by developing the concept of generation by exploring different challenges to the welfare state such as migration, digitalization, environmental damages, demands for sustainability, and marginalization. Highlighting the escalating tensions and altered versions of solidarity between generations, this book shows how a comprehensive concept of a generation can create new insights into how we collectively coordinate and resolve challenges through the welfare state. It will be of interest to all scholars and students of social policy, sociology, political science, and social anthropology. 2021-09-03T15:24:04Z 2021-09-03T15:24:04Z 2022 book ONIX_20210903_9781000459036_6 9781000459036 9780367654719 9781003129592 9780367654757 https://library.oapen.org/handle/20.500.12657/50544 eng Social Welfare Around the World application/pdf Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 International 9781000459036.pdf Taylor & Francis Routledge 10.4324/9781003129592 10.4324/9781003129592 7b3c7b10-5b1e-40b3-860e-c6dd5197f0bb Nova OsloMet – storbyuniversitetet 9781000459036 9780367654719 9781003129592 9780367654757 Routledge 248 open access
