This working paper is the product of a two-month stay (January-February 2006) at the Department ‘Insti-
tutions and History of the Welfare State’ of the Centre for Social Policy in the context of my doctoral
research. I would like to thank the staff of the CeS for enabling my stay in the first place, for the warm
welcome I received, and for assistance with my research. In particular, my thanks goes to Eric Seils,
Herbert Obinger, Petra Buhr and Irene Dingeldey. In a slightly different form, this paper forms part of my
doctoral dissertation that is due to be published in 2007.
