“…Over the last decade, welfare state researchers have become more and more interested in transnational perspectives, such as the transfer of ideas and techniques, the use (and misuse) of foreign models and the role of transnational institutions (Conrad, 2011;Rodgers, 1998). The Cold War was obviously a transnational phenomenon.…”

This paper analyses possible links between the early Cold War and the Western welfare state. These have so far attracted far too little interest among both welfare state and Cold War scholars. The paper argues that the nature of the relationship between the Cold War and the welfare state is too complex to be formulated into a general theory and proposes a research strategy focussing on different mechanisms of interactions. It identifies and discusses four such mechanisms: The possible trade-offs between military and social expenses, the use of the Cold War in political and ideological debates on social reforms, social reforms as an anti-communist strategy, and finally how the Cold War influenced transnational social policy learning.

“…While history may have come late to the transnational debate (Conrad, 2011), historical transnationalism offers a lens through which vectors of social policy transfer and ideas serve to influence and shape national social and political dimensions. Appadurai (1996) uses the language of 'scapes' to define what Nichols (2010) describes as 'transnational zones of energy and attention ' (p. 281).…”

“…The growing importance of transnationalism, or the world as a ‘legitimate object of knowledge’ (Sklair, 1995: 1) has prompted the emergence of multidisciplinary studies dedicated to the exploration, consequences and policy implications of globalisation (Robinson, 1998). While history may have come late to the transnational debate (Conrad, 2011), historical transnationalism offers a lens through which vectors of social policy transfer and ideas serve to influence and shape national social and political dimensions. Appadurai (1996) uses the language of ‘scapes’ to define what Nichols (2010) describes as ‘transnational zones of energy and attention’ (p. 281).…”

Vectors of transnationality in the adoption of a liberal public health response to HIV and AIDS in Ireland

Historical transnationalism offers a lens through which vectors of international ideas influence national social and political dimensions to illuminate the policy transfer pathways that may shape contemporary events. This article applies a historical transnational perspective to examine the ascendency of the liberal consensus in Ireland which largely defined the international response to the AIDS crisis in the 1980s. While AIDS was neither the initial nor the sole driver of policy change, it was a catalyst for the transformation of Ireland's traditionally Catholic and conservative approach to sexuality and sexual health. In considering the role of a pioneering priest, a public health specialist and a gay collective during this initial era of HIV and AIDS in Ireland, conclusions will be drawn as to the extent to which these key actors operated as vectors of transnationality to promote a global ethic of non-discrimination and the conditions required by government to adopt a liberal response to HIV and AIDS.

“…V závěrečné kapitole shrnuje Christoph Conrad [2011] důsledky "transnacionálního obratu" pro společenskovědní a historický výzkum sociální politiky, který vyvolala nespokojenost s dosavadními komparativními výzkumy spíše petrifi kujícími situaci v rámci jednotlivých národních států namísto uvažování vzájemných vztahů a interakcí mezi jednotlivými prvky komparace. Národní státy však nadále zůstávají rozhodujícími aktéry sociální politiky a klíčovým problémem zůstává postižení inherentního vztahu mezi transnacionálními souvislostmi a trvalou, i když proměňující se rolí národního státu.…”
