This conceptual article and special issue introduction argues for the importance of studying three policy paradigms surrounding welfare policy opposition. The first is welfare populism, the opposition to welfare policies that do not benefit the ‘common people’. The second is welfare chauvinism, the opposition to welfare policies for non-natives within a nation-state. The third is welfare Euroscepticism, the opposition to welfare policies at the European Union level. These paradigms have distinct causes and consequences that should be studied in more detail across different political actors. And while welfare policy opposition may not lead to a complete farewell to welfare, they have been shaping and will continue to shape welfare state recalibration. This article offers summaries of the special issue contributions with empirical snapshots of welfare policy opposition and concludes with avenues for future research.

告别福利？福利民粹主义、福利沙文主义和福利欧洲怀疑主义的概念化

这篇概念性文章和特刊介绍论证了研究围绕福利政策反对的三种政策范式的重要性。第一个是福利民粹主义，反对不利于“老百姓”的福利政策。第二种是福利沙文主义，反对民族国家内针对非本地人的福利政策。第三种是福利欧洲怀疑主义，即反对欧盟层面的福利政策。这些范式具有不同的原因和后果，应该在不同的政治参与者中进行更详细的研究。尽管福利政策的反对可能不会导致福利的彻底告别，但它们已经并将继续影响福利国家的重新调整。本文总结了特刊的贡献以及福利政策反对的实证快照，并总结了未来研究的途径。
